I have taken this from the paper Is serotonin Upper or dower,page 170
"More-over, in a 3-week dietary intervention, depressed patients with a
restricted intake of sucrose and caffeine, which also increases extra-cellular serotonin (Nehlig et al., 1992), experienced a persistent amelioration in depressive symptoms (Christensen and Burrows,1990)."
I have OCD and melancholic depression from last 15 years. Whenever I take caffeinated drink, I get a very strong urge to move around. What should I make of that? Perhaps caffeine is not fine in the context of OCD? Please help me understand the situation. Thanks
