Serotonin is the hormone what makes us happy, so why aren’t we just injecting it into our body/taking it as tablets to get out of misery on command?

MDMA is a drug that allows more serotonin to accumulate in the synapses. This drug makes you feel really good and would get you out of misery awfully fast. It does not produce more serotonin so you would crash pretty hard after it used up making you feel miserable until a sufficient amount has been made. You could step this up further by taking an SSRI like fluoxetine, this could potentially increase the effects of MDMA making you feel even better for longer. However, I would not recommend trying MDMA and especially not with an SSRI as MDMA is illegal and the likelihood of serotonin syndrome with both drugs would be really high.
