how does nicotine affect serotonin receptors?
_____i never got addicted to nicotine, but i also have asthma, and really had bad feelings about my mother who used to smoke all the time.
i got addicted to pot (literally), and kind of wondered if it had to do with the tobacco i would put in to make joints easier to take.
it was odd because i kept using pot long after it was even slightly enjoyable. i would just get paranoid and draw into myself even further, and behave pretty dingbatty and annoying around people. i would get scared and couldn't be around people and be wrecked for days. i could not find out why it was hard to stop.
i may try nicotine again, but i really practically felt no response to patches. i literally gave up after one day though.paradoxially though, galantamine did seem to help me, at least with communicating with people and sort of reintegrating into purposeful activity.
short lived however, and not very affordable given it was just a supplement version i was kind of ambivalent about depending on given how unreliable dosing is with supplements. i think this also lead to early discouragement, and it kind of made me feel rough and agitated.
thank you for your input.
