The inflammatory substance IL-6 (interleukin-6) appears to be elevated (fairly routinely) in depression. When elevated IL-6 results in less tryptophan turning to serotonin (and more turning into neurotoxic metabolites).
I have been feeling surprisingly better since starting the herb feverfew, which (apparently) inhibits IL-6 fairly potently. My anxiety and fatigue has disappeared almost entirely.

I take a cyp3a4 inducer that speeds up the metabolism of Seroquel.

I take Astaxanthin and it speeds up the metabolism of Seroquel. Cyp3a4 is an enzyme of the liver that breaks down Seroquel. Astaxanthin amplifies this enzyme so more Seroquel is broken down more quickly ;)
Astaxanthin is supposed to help against inflammation. I have elbow tendonitis so i am using it as an antidote.
