In reply to What's a mood brightner?, posted by Maxime on March 13, 2006, at 21:31:13
This is conterveral to me, i think dopamine is a main mood brigtner becuase it actives you in motivation and reward, similar to dexamphetamine, you feel more open, but more determined sort of, serotonin, i dont know......
I have taken Prozac 40mg before (the activating SSRI) and noticed some, but it defintly was not like dopamine. You kinda feel mellowed out but ok on serotonin.
Also pain killers i was on Darvon a while back when i had my wisdom teeth pulled, opiates work on dopamine and endorphins, but it acts as its own endorphin, thats why it elevates mood (dopamine wise) but it doesnt really elevate activity like stimulants.
Serotonin makes you feel mmmm i think more warm, many people say that Ectasy "X" makes them feel more warm with the whole enviorment, even though regardless it is destroying serotonin receptors, MDMA is nuerotoxic after time,
methamphetamine - [stongest amp.] makes people feel in control and feel activated and feeling good.
(not dextroamphetamine) also is to but it takes a longer time with high doses, then it kills dopamine receptors.Thats my put, what do you think?
