You can get it from a company in the states. Just look up activive as your search word. I think it is from micronutra labs.
Where do you get the Activive and is this the correct spelling of the herbal remedy?
Hi all, thanx for the replies. However I just got back from the ER and saw a neurologist and he says that taking this Activie formulation actually causes your body to have more serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in your system. This is not the first time he has seen people with depression with fibromyalgia taking this herbal formulation. The excess serotonin can cause flu like symptoms although you are really suffering from the flu. So even though it does not cause your body to produce more, it actually keeps more in your system cause something callled serotonin syndrome. they did blood work and a spinal tap to check the levels and it is not toxic, but higher than it should be. The Migraine from the spinal tap is not the funnest, but they wanted to make sure. So I do recommed that you check out serotonin syndrome. Some people don't realize it but they can actually poison themselves and if not treated can cause death, in extreme cases.
So again I was told to stay off activive, and celexa. I have been off the activive for about a week and this day 2 without the celexa and I feel better than I have in two days. So there is products out there that can actually make you worse. everything esle in me checks out. Just thought I would share this bit of info with you all.
HEY I'M SORRY BUT THERE ISNT ANY PILL THAT CAN MAKE SERATONIN IN YOUR BRAIN. JUST TRUST ME READ A BOOK ABOUT THE SYNAPSE IN THE BRAIN WHERE NEUROTRANSMITTERS ARE MADE AND CROSS. IM SORRY BUT YOUR JUST HURTING YOURSELF FOR NO REASON
I can't imagine any formulation, herbal or otherwise, that would produce more seratonin in your system, especially immediately. If such a thing existed, it would put all the SSRI antidepressants out of business, since they only stop your body from re-uptaking your own seratonin, so that it remains in your bloodstream longer. I could be wrong, but I think something else is going on ....
