Diane:

What kind of tests did she have to determine

her Serotonin levels, in the first place??? If

these tests exist then why aren't these used

"before" someone begins SSRI's to determine

that they do in fact need the serotonin from

SSRI's.????

Just me... Jan

realized that it was due to the lack of

serotonin in her body causing these

problems. She was placed back on Zoloft

on a very low dose (10 mg) for the time being.

Immediately being placed back on it, the

symptoms disappeared. Her doctor explained

that there are serotonin receptors throughout

the body, but the highest concentration of

receptors is in the intestinal tract. That is what

is causing the nausea and digestion problems.
