Common Questions and Answers about Drugs and neurotransmission

drug

Avatar f tn Also, potassium helps with neurotransmission (which is what your drugs affect), bananas and broccoli have that in it, but they do not give an emotional high like your drugs do. Coffee will give you a temporary lift because it has so much caffeine in it. And exercise releases endorphins, which make a person feel good.
Avatar m tn The causes for jerks can be peripheral neuropathies, vitamin and minerals deficiencies, excess caffeine intake, hypoglycemia, and hypothyroidism. He need to undergo blood sugar and thyroid status to rule out the cause. He may have to take vitamin B-complex supplementation. First important step for management is treat identifiable cause. Pharmacotherapy usually involves drug modulating GABAergic neurotransmission like Levetiracetam, Piracetam, Clonazepam or Valproic acid against prescription.
10287982 tn?1443815735 I spent two years on correg (as high as 25 mg twice a day) and lisinopril. According to my cardiologist, I recovered. Under the care if a different doctor, I tapered very slowly off the correg. I went to see him at a week and my resting heart rate was 107. He immediately said I should go back on the correg. I was crushed because I had an awful time with correg—depression, lethargy, weight gain, etc. Is it me or is 107 just not that high?

I can not say I was scrubbing that hard..after a while it became black and blue...bruise right at the inside bend of my thumb.
Avatar f tn It is a side effect of Interferon. Interferon interferes with neurotransmission and thus we get the problems with cognitive thinking, concentration, memory loss, abstract thinking (or any thinking at all, LOL), etc. Your symptoms are normal for being on Interferon. Generally speaking, these side effects/symptoms will abate after treatment is completed. In the meantime, it helps to know that these symptoms are from the interferon.
Avatar f tn My doctors take a pee sample every visit and drug test every time they even ha e signs up that if you fail one it will be reported and they will call dss when baby is born (i don't do anything but that's my Dr's office)
Avatar f tn Yes I found out I was pregnant at 7 weeks I was getting drunk everyday and smoking weed taking pills and doing coke im 18 and have been threw alot and seen alot I lost my way in life for a while now im 33 weeks and my son is doing amazing
Avatar n tn I took sports as an outlet for fun and hung out with my friends and managed to never put myself in danger by doing drugs or alcohol. It takes real inner strength, self-control and a real deep sense of contentment with who you ARE -- you don't have to prove anything to anyone. I would challenge you to think this over and make the smart decision in order to protect yourself.
352798 tn?1399298154 agree!......learning how to use drugs and pass a drug test is not on my list of priorities either...these are things u should ask fellow users or google like gtm said...
Avatar f tn the friend you have was the one getting you the drugs and you have decided Not to do them anymore and they are still doing them and you kinda distance yourself because of the temptation...and your friend is aware of this but getting pissed off more and more because you are withdrawing from them...but they have no desire to get clean...i still care for my friend but just dont want to be around the drugs...any help or suggestions on how to handle this without hurting her feelings?
Avatar f tn ve been with my friend throughout her entire pregnancy and she has basically been using cocaine on and off. Her doctor knows about it and has been monitoring her this whole time. Her baby is healthy and fine and she has talked to her doctor about dcfs getting involved at the hospital and her being able to go home with baby. She also signed up for a substance abuse program. She is now 39 weeks and is due August 29th. My question is, is everything really.
Avatar n tn I'm 18 and had diabetes for 2 and half years, at the start of 2008 I got with the wrong crowd and started taking cocaine, now I take it every weekend. I never check my blood glucose level as well. I want to know how cocaine will effect my diabetes.
Avatar f tn im sure some one who knows more about it will come on....but i have seizures and i smoke pot and it dosnt make it worse, it actually helps thats about the only time i smoke it is if i am stressed and feel like i might have one...but am not a doctor..
Avatar m tn Hi, I have been with my bf for almost 2 months now.. He tells me that he has BP disorder and that he has a hard time staying off the alcohol and drugs (weed & pills).. He takes Symbyax and Prozac from my understanding. I really dont think he takes it like he should.. I was wondering if this is a common problem? I am new at this and dont know very much about the problems that he has. I am trying very hard to stick by his side and work through all this.
Avatar m tn m at my weakest but my councilor and those meetings will make me talk more instead of thinking about drugs it must be better to talk about drugs and cravings too James
Avatar n tn I have a fdriend who is pregnant, she has recently started doing meth she wants to try and stop but she is afraid that it might be to late to quit before she has the baby and the find it in the placenta. So they will take the baby regardless. So basically what im asking is how far back do they go to find drugs in the placenta?
Avatar f tn I was 11 weeks (by the ultrasound). For the first 5 months of my pregnancy I used Alcohol and prescpibtion drugs to cope with my anxiety and depression ( this is not my way of making accuses for myself, I know what I did was and is wrong). My question is when they measured my baby when I was 11 weeks, is there any chance that the ultrasound could have been wrong about my due date due to the fact that I was using?
Avatar f tn Hi I'm new to this site but I've just been needing some answers A few month ago I took LSD before that I have taken it plenty of times around 11 I'd say. Anyways this trip the effects of the acid were coming strong I felt it in 30 minutes. I was alone. I skyped one of my friends to calm down it was going good for a while just talking and whatever. As time went on I started thinking and the devil came across my mind. Then I felt this huge pain come over my body.
Avatar n tn Magnesium plays very important roles in neurotransmission, and how it plays into the orchestration of ordered electrical impulses in the heart and all other innervated muscles. Has a lot of importance for enzymatic reactions also. Yet they don't commonly check for it. If all parameters on the blood assay came back normal, what you may want to do is try supplementing magnesium. Try magnesium taurate or glycinate. Oxides don't absorb well in the gut.
Avatar f tn ve experienced) is associated with producing euphoria and elevates mood by binding to the mu-opioid-receptor in the brain which inevitably causes an increase in dopamine neurotransmission in the area of the brain associated with pleasure and reward ( the VTA/Nucleus Accumbens). The physician/psychiatrist you see can help ease the discomfort associated with opioid widthdrawl as well as discuss any other issues you maybe having.
Avatar f tn Then go from there, I have had plenty of friends and family and even i was on drugs for years and would have that cycle of relapse, and Ive been drug free for two years !!! I can never see myself EVER going back and that was because I actually had help to fully "recover" with counsalers ect.
