yes candy and sweets, which are simple carbohydrates, have the greatest impact, but the effect will only last 1 - 2 hours.
Complex carbohydrates (rice, potato, pasta) may increase serotonin levels, but not to the same extent because the protein content of these foods might actually inhibit serotonin production.
carbohydrates trigger the release of insulin into the blood stream, which clears all the amino acids from the blood, except tryptophan. When competitors are out of the way, the tryptophan floods the brain, where it's converted to serotonin. Whole-grain breads, crackers, pasta, rice, cereal, and fruit all have the potential to increase your serotonin level.
The dietary supplement 5-HTP (5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan) is promoted as a treatment for insomnia, depression, migraine, obesity and attention deficit disorder in children. It is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan and, in fact, the body makes it from the tryptophan present in beef, chicken, fish, dairy products and other high protein foods.

why would you want to increase your seratonin levels i am on antiphsychotics to keep mine stable if they go to high you end up with manic phsychosis this happened to me so if you really want to stop taking your meds
Does 5htp increase or decrease dopamine in the brain when it increases serotonin?
When 5-HTP increases serotonin levels in the brain, it may indirectly influence dopamine levels as well. Serotonin and dopamine are interrelated neurotransmitters, with some studies suggesting that alterations in one can affect the other. However, the precise relationship between 5-HTP, serotonin, and dopamine is complex and not fully understood.
Does trazodone increase dopamine?
If trazodone does impact dopamine, it does so very slightly, and such effect is negligible. So, I would say no. Trazodone is an agonist for the 5-HT (serotonin)-1A receptor (similar to buspirone, where it acts to reduce anxiety). It also antagonizes (blocks) the following receptor subtypes: - 5-HT 2A, 2B, and 2C - alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic receptors - histamine-1 receptor
How surgical hypothyroidism would likely affect prolactin levels?
Thyroid hormones levels decrease, TRH levels increase, and PRL levels increase.
Would pulmonary flow rate increase after exercise?
Yes
What would happen if heart rates did not increase with exercise?
die
What factors would increase pulse rate?
Exercise, and heat.
What would happen to your weight if you did not exercise?
It would increase slowly, depending on your metabolism.
Can 5htp be taken with methadone?
Both increase serotonin levels, so it would be silly to take both. Now, if you take methadone in the morning, and begin getting shaky at night and cannot sleep, it would be o.k. to take it at night for sleep only...not during the day and not together with methadone!
Would a growth factor increase or decrease cyclin levels?
A growth factor would increase cyclin levels. Growth factors signal a cell to enter the cell cycle, which involves an increase in cyclin levels to regulate cell division.
The reuptake of a neurotransmitter such as serotonin would involve the reabsorption of serotonin into a?
receiving neuron
What would result in increase in GDP?
Greater levels of investment
