Serotonin levels and PE

I was wondering what supps are made that would increase one's serotonin levels? I'd like to last a little longer in bed, and I'm a pretty on edge guy. And I've heard raised levels of serotonin can help with lasting longer and well...being calmer.

thanks..
 
5htp is a precursor to serotonin, take it carefully too much serotonin can be a very very very bad thing. its sold by now foods at nutra for like 13 bucks. if you can find it take alot of l-trytophan as well, as that converts to 5htp which then converts to serotonin.

good luck
 
well, fluoxetine, which has been used in some studies to help treat premature ejaculation. But that's a prescription, which could always be purchased online if you're willing to take the risk I guess...

Would you recommend the L-tryptophan over the 5HTP?

L-tryptophan is really hard to find here in the states. and it will make you sleeply to take. personally I think its better to take 5-htp because it cuts out one chemical transfer. t-5htp-serotonin, whereas with 5htp-serotonin. you can find it for relatively good prices, my grocery store (publix) sells 3 different brands of it.

again though please be careful to NOT take too much at once.

How about L-Dopa?

L-dopa doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier that easily, they have found derivatives like 1-carboxy, or (not that I can spell) mucuna prunas... but they are kinda expensive. however they besides making you happy, will most definitely boost your GH level. Also a downside to any GH (l-dopa) product is that it becomes almost inert if you eat or have just eaten when consuming the pill. this is due to the rise in insulin, which counteracts (somehow, I'm not sure) with the GH you cannot use any l-dopa product long term NO MATTER WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS.


personally however I think if I were you I would try the 5-htp for a little while first because its cheaper.
 
L-dopa will not help.

5HTP probably would. You have the right idea. It sounds like a life style choice so 5HTP would probably work. Don't touch prescription stuff at all here, particularly Prozac as mentioned above. Its too complicated to explain why - yes it would work but its a bad idea (its about half-life). If you have a serious problem there is on prescription drug that would work - but like it would need to be severe.

Perform has a very good reputation BTW and you should check the logs. Personally I'd try 5HTP but seriously think about Perform.
 
I found another thread on here that also mentions benadryl, phenibut, and mucuna puriens....comments? Would any of these possibly work better than the 5-htp?
 
I take paroxetine(paxil) 20mg every morning for the past 3 years - Can't quit now cause I'll go through a very painful withdrawl - I do not recommend taking Paxil unless you suffer from depression/anxiety/panic attacks etc...

Before I started taking it I would probably not last 30 seconds during sex -
Now that I take it, I seem to be able to control my ejaculation.... although sometimes I will not be able to ejaculate at all.... So... I dunno which is better, the satisfaction/pride of lasting longer and possibly not being able to cum at all sometimes, or cumming after 30 seconds of sex and looking like a loser - LoL - Oh well
 
5-HTP works great and is more reliable than straight tryptophan. I have used both extensively and now use 5htp as my main anti-depressant. I would start with 50 mg of 5-HTP and be sure to include some B vitamins, particularly B6, folic acid and B12 to aid the conversion to serotonin. Do not exceed 200 mg of 5HTP. Like any antidepressant, finding your sweet spot dosage is the key.

L-Dopa boosts dopamine, not serotonin but it has its uses if you are low on dopamine.

Why not use any l-dopa product long term?

Dopamine (L-dopa stuff) is all about libido, its no. 1. It would help ED but I think it could make PE (a little bit) worse. Its just a guess though and mass dopamine release ain't OTC.

Because we appear to get tolerant to it. Its weird stuff dopamine. To be honest MAxximal you know this.... you're a HGHUp user right?

Cycling is the key, e.g. HGHUp, PowerFull, most likely AI's new sleep product.

hmm i've been liking 400mg a day split in 2 doses more than 200 a day from 2 doses.

How long should it take me to know if the 5-HTP is working or not, as far as lasting longer?
Click to expand...

anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Its kinda tough to tell exactly. like even most prescription serotonin manipulators it could take some time.

harder erections always make me last longer than floppy D*ck.

yes, harder makes you longer usually, that's my experience too. but if that's the case you can just use viagra.
(strangely, there is a paper saying that viagra is not that helpful to PE people. maybe for those who really have short time, harder d**k is not enough to stop them cum)

dopamine is linked to ejeculation mechanism, that makes people think it works to different direction-- cum quicker. However I havn't heard l-dopa will make PE more serious.
 
theoretically, l-dopa or products that work to increase dopamine will shorten refractory period and give you more intense orgasms, but will definitely make PE worse in most cases. dopamine is repsonsible for the pleasure center of the brain, as that is what most illegal drugs target. 5-htp would be the supplement of choice. I'm not too keen on the dosage, but it will increase serotonin levels which will most definitely aid with PE. In fact, SSRIs(slelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often prescribed to help those with PE. For ED dopamine would be great, serotonin would make it worse. For PE, the opposite is true. nerotransmitters are as funny a business as hormones.
