A hyposerotonergicTM condition or state often accompanies migraines (see below)
After diagnosing a migraine, formulate a differential diagnosis to rule out accompanying issues, including a hyposerotonergic condition or state.
A hyposerotonergicTM condition or state often accompanies migraines (see below)
After diagnosing a migraine, formulate a differential diagnosis to rule out accompanying issues, including a hyposerotonergic condition or state.
Consider using an empirical trial of the hyposerotonergic condition protocol.
Management of the hyposerotonergic condition or state which may accompany migraine requires establishing serotonin concentrations higher than are possible with modification of the normal diet.
“Generally, it was stated that migraine patients have low platelet 5-HT (serotonin), a sign of hyposerotonergic status of migraine.”
