NE or DA Syndrome, sweating addict look?

In reply to Dexadrine + Tyrosine = NE or DA Syndrome? » 3 Beer Effect, posted by fachad on May 1, 2002, at 10:49:32

I'm just guessing here, would think it would be similar to the look of stimulant overdose with high or labile blood pressure, sped up heart, nausea/diarrhea, manic-like or even psychotic behavior. Seems like a continuum to me between normal and sympathetic overdrive, but maybe there are some setpoints or yes/no things where it gets way out of control.

I wonder if serotonin syndrome is actually a continuum of some sort. That is, what would happen if one could hold everything else constant and vary only serotonin. Does the syndrome suddenly start at some level or is it gradual?


Then the complete opposite of your 'NE/DA syndrome', in a way, would be neuroleptic malignant syndrome, NMS, which occurs as an idiosyncratic reaction to antipsychotics and also to abrupt withdrawal of parkinson's meds: fever, rigidity, other weird signs relating to suddenly not having enough dopamine/norepinephrine. Tend to have low dopamine and very high epinephrine. Another reason not to stop supplements suddenly.
