Serotonin for Depression 

Although there is no FMS cure, there are New Medications for Fibromyalgia Depression that will help increase your Serotonin levels.  Low levels of Serotonin is a common  symptom of fibromyalgia depression.  Treatment with all natural, physician-formulated, new medications for fibromyalgia is one way to help minimize the effects of your symptoms, benefiting your overall daily life. 

Although FIBROMYALGIA DEPRESSION is associated with low levels of Serotonin, scientists are not sure whether low levels of Serotonin causes depression or whether depression is caused by low levels of Serotonin.  They do know that the symptoms can often be lifted by raising Serotonin levels.  Serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP), is the brain's "happy chemical".  Although over 100 neurochemicals are found in the human brain, four neurotransmitters - Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Dopamine and Acetycholine - are the most highly researched.  Of these four neurotransmitters, Serotonin has the most widespread effect on the brain.

NEW MEDICATIONS  for FIBROMYALGIA Depression Containing Serotonin

Our new medications for fibromyalgia depression contain serotonin, often referred to as the body's "natural" mood-altering drug.  Changes in Serotonin levels can quickly alter your mood.  If serotonin levels drop, depression is almost sure to follow.  Some antidepressant medications work specifically to affect the action of Serotonin.  Deprex, a new medication for fibromyalgia, is an antidepressant that stimuates Serotonin levels without the side effects commonly associated with antidepressant drugs.  It is important to note that the use of certain drugs, like amphetamines, may actually cause depression in FMS patients.  The medications commonly prescribed for are amphetamines, and these drugs often place the patient at a further risk of developing depression.
