Whats the best medication to block serotonin? And don´t say cyproheptadine because that one only stops the effect of serotonin it doesen´t decrease or block it.

Also the list on the WIKI just blocks SOME serotonin receptors, I want one that blocks every receptor? if that is possible or which med blocks the most.

yes zyprexa does block serotonin im not sure what receptors, I've noticed it does in a way help mood, you feel kinda eased and relaxed at higher doses, when i first started it made me stable like no other, but i was so sleepy and sedated, it's like it downed my thoughts, but after years of taking it like brain adapted to it, but withdrawal from Zyprexa is hell, if i don't take it for 2-3 days i start getting anxiety, it's withdrawal effects require a benzo if you on it a long time
clozapine is a strong dopamine/serotonin blocker, but it doesn't have the anti-depressant effects

that's weird why they didn't put that, zyprexa does block serotonin at certain receptors, but it does in a way where it helps the mood, some of the others don't really help, clozapine is strong and usually an indication for schizophrenia-resistant treatment, not depressive disorders

Technically cyprohepdatine does block serotonin. It is a serotonin antagonist (meaning it blocks the actions of serotonin at certain serotonin receptors).
I know of no serotonin antagonists that block all serotonin receptors. Also, you wouldn't want to block serotonin at all receptors as you would mess up many systems in your body.
A few things that might help.
Zinc - increases the reuptake of serotonin (opposite to an SSRI)
Vitamin B2 - helps synthesize monoamine oxidase which metabolizes serotonin into other products
Theanine (in green tea) apparently reduces serotonin
Tyrosine - will reduce the absorption of tryptophan and (in theory) reduce serotonin
Melatonin - can reduce serotonin
Feverfew (herbal treatment for migraines) can reduce serotonin
