      Hello,

      A long time ago, I watched a program about an experiment during which the subjects were given a drink which lowers the level of serotonin significantly. Is this a well-known experiment? Are the ingredients of the drink known, or any ingredient capable of such an effect?

      Thanks for the repliers.
