A member asked:
Does the ssri increase or decrease serotonin release assay test results and the serotonin test results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're fine: These medicines affect the processing of serotonin after it's released into the synapses in your brain. They won't affect your platelet studies. You're smart to ask, though.
