It is called an uptake inhibitor. I have a serious problem with this since it is inhibiting the uptake of an important chemical in the brain. That is how the supply is increased. There is a different way to increase the supply of serotonin which is (in my not-very-expert opinion): provide the body with the “precursor” to serotonin – 5-HTP. You could also eat more healthfully, exercise and generally find and do what you are passionate about (not what makes you the most money). But take what I say with a grain of salt…I’m not an expert in pharmacology and the science of getting kickbacks from the drug companies like most doctors are…Actually, most doctors are not experts in pharmacology either…they just get the kickbacks.
