Hello everyone. Thank you for reading my guestion. I do know that Seratonin should be some sort of chemical reaction in brain but that’s about it. I know alot of songs mentioning seratonin and I did read Wikipedia article about it but it is still pretty unclear what exactly it is. Thank you for every response.

In case you’re ever going to experiment with MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine) which is commonly known as “Ecstasy,” you might feel an off day after taking the (party) drug. This is because all the seratonin is being squeezed out “all” at once. This provides an extremely happy high. The days after most people feel a bit down, the drug has disturbed their serotonin balance and the body needs to fill the seratonin levels in order to feel normal again. Taking 5-HTP pills slightly support the recovery together with bananas, chocolate, chickpeas and other edibles providing tryptophan. MDMA, isn’t as harmful as many people think, although doing it too often may cause serotonin syndrome.
