Serotonin Syndrome would be why, I guess you could technically do it yes but you’d have to have a crap load of minute amounts injected over time. If you say had a weeks worth in one hit you’d likely get messed up pretty bad

Serotonin also regulates a load of other bodily functions do injecting it I imagine would be really risky.

Apologies for the vague terms, it’s based on my rudimentary understanding as I’ve been managing clinical depression for about 20 years and serotonin syndrome is a risk associated with antidepressants.
