Prozac is my fun drug. It makes me hypo manic with one 20mg dose.

I have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type So I am prone to being more sensitive to SSRI. This is mostly to do with my genetically odd 5HT2A receptors.

Depression is no longer really a part of my life anymore after I found I was zinc deficient. But now I do tend towards the manic and have issues with psychosis still so I need to be careful with my serotonin.

How do you get the right amount of zinc? Are there other minerals you're supposed to take with zinc? I know that sometimes balancing one thing causes another thing to go out of balance.

My doctor is great and test both my zinc and copper regularly. So I only take zinc when my levels are getting close to the low level.

Zinc can inhibit the observe shows copper, so that’s why the copper tested.
