Epinephrine neurotransmitter

Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine neurotransmitter

epipen

Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
Avatar n tn A few years back a doctor ordered a neurotransmitter test on me to see what my levels were at, in hopes to help find a medication that worked for me. The doctor never talked to me about the results just said take supplements. I have since changed doctors but had recently obtained the results of my past neuro test. I was wondering if anyone knows much on how to interpret the results. I am trying to figure out a new anxiety medicine that would work best for me. My results were: Epinephrine: 5.
Avatar f tn Relaxes the bladder Dilates pupils Increases perspiration Increases mental activity Stress constricts most blood vessels but dilates those in heart/leg/arm muscles and over time can cause cardiovascular problems The main sympathetic neurotransmitter is called noradrenaline which is released a the nerve endings. The stress response also includes the activity of the adrenal, pituitary and thyroid glands.
Avatar f tn Hi. Wellbutrin (Bupropion) can best be described as an atypical anti-depressant. And it is a stimulant as well. It works on the Dopamine system, unlike other anti-depressants, which primarily work on the Nor-epinephrine and/or Serotonin systems. That's why the word, 'atypical'. Dopamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter (a stimulant).
1158557 tn?1262725929 that supply the brain with raw materials required for normal neurotransmitter production. With neurotransmitters at normal levels, cravings become fewer and weaker, thinking is clearer, and feelings are more positive and focused. Sleep improves. Crave Control™ contains targeted amino acids specifically needed for manufacture of dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These neurotransmitters enable "brain reward" activity.
Avatar n tn Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is a NDRI (norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake Inhibitor). Reuptake Inhibitors are thought to block the reabsorption (reuptake) of the targeted neurotransmitter by certain nerve cells in the brain. This theoretically leaves more of the neurotransmitter in the brain. If you have low levels of neurotransmitters to begin with these medications either will not work well or work for a while then stop working.

Avatar m tn Hi there, Vitamin B6 vitamin plays an essential role in the creation of serotonin, nor epinephrine and dopamine. These brain neurotransmitters are important for regulating our mental balance, mood etc.Defficiency of this vitamin leads to a decrease in the neurotransmitter formation and functioning which in turn can cause depression. A person should consume vitamin B6 as per his daily requirement.Potatoes, spinach, banana, walnuts and fortified cereals are the main sources of Vitamin B6.
4939681 tn?1361299299 com/ The MTHFR A1298C mutation affects an enzyme that inhibits the utilization of something that inhibits an important chemical, which is a cofactor in neurotransmitter production, including serotonin, dopamine, melatonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It also plays a role in the production of nitric oxide. If you have the MTHFR A1298C mutation, you may be deficient in BH4, which may cause psychological or neurological problems, as well as cardiovascular disease.
Avatar f tn Did your symptoms change after you started taking the Cymbalta? I noticed that you listed poor memory, fatigue, weakness, depersonalization (feeling like you can or are moving arms while driving), feeling like you have to think about speaking or moving (confusion). Are you having symptoms since starting the Cymbalta, such as sweating, rapid or uneven heartbeat, muscle rigidity (especially in the legs-cramping or burning in legs or staggering walk)?
1131237 tn?1260211024 I can not give you direct advice, it would not be responsible, but I can tell you that the effexor is probably a better alternative than adding epinephrine to the mix. You might try staying with the effexor longer and accommodating to the stimulant effect.
Avatar f tn I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren’t used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.
1143570 tn?1261219756 Those you are taking are called SSRI which means selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. They affect serotonin which is a neurotransmitter related to happy mood and such. Another kind of AD you can try if you see no improvements at all is a SNRI; selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inibitor. It will affect your serotonin level and also another neurotransmitter called norepinephrine.

Avatar n tn I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day. Has anyone experienced this or known anyone who has? I researched on the web and found many warnings about pregnant women receiving Lidocaine from the dentist but not what they gave me.
Avatar f tn So far I always got eye drops without epinephrine/or something equal to epinephrine, but this last eye doctor did not want to use any drops at all. He examined my eyes without dialating them.
1808884 tn?1324345703 GABA (all of which is what L-glutamine converts to) are all neurotransmitters which are chemical messengers in the brain without which the brain could not function. GABA is a calming neurotransmitter, Glutamate is a stimulating neurotransmitter, while Glutamine is a modulator of the inhibitory & excitatory activity of the other two. It is an important fuel for the brain, & can provide adequate energy in the absence of glucose (the other major brain fuel).
Avatar f tn Can anyone here tell me if ms has any effect on either of the hormones epinephrine or norepinephrine?
Avatar m tn s the causes of depression? Does it relate to the neurotransmitter? Diazepam is an anti-depressant? It enhances the effect of GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA A-receptor. After binding to the receptor, may i know what's the next mechanism? GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter? If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure?
4703993 tn?1379768388 I found this tidbit in a journal abstract that you may want to show your doc: "Patients with syncope while supine also had sympathoadrenal imbalance before loss of consciousness. Sympathoadrenal imbalance precedes tilt-evoked and spontaneous neurocardiogenic syncope and correlates with concurrent skeletal muscle vasodilation. Sympathoadrenal imbalance may contribute to hemodynamic derangements precipitating neurocardiogenic syncope." http://www.ajconline.
886699 tn?1270779744 POTS- one of the criteria listed by a doctor w/Vanderbilt is a standing norepinephrine of over 600. Norepinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter, so it definitely can have an affect on that one!
Avatar f tn It's the epinephrine in the anesthetic that causes the racing heart, etc. Next time you're at the dentist and you need/want an anesthetic ask for one WITHOUT epinephrine. The medication generally takes a little longer to "kick in" and wears off faster, but your dentist will work with you for maximum comfort.
1305767 tn?1361192676 t bad this time because they gave me nitrous but I learned they put epinephrine in the local anesthetic shots (it has something to do with helping the anesthetic last longer) So I'm thinking the epinephrine sends my anxiety level from like a six to a ten. Last November I had a tooth pulled and while the dentist was injecting the shot my heart rate got so high I almost passed out. They put a monitor on my finger and it was about 150! That is just crazy.
Avatar n tn m wondering with my heart problem how dangerous is it to get a dose of epinephrine and how will that affect my heart? I had an epinephrine dose in the early nineties due to a breathing problem, but that was before I was diagnosed with the mvp and atrial misfire.
