Avatar f tn Strattera... my salvation for concentration. Been taking it 7 years now to counteract the "attention and concentration deficits related to chronic dizziness," as the neuro put it. Gets rid of the constant struggle to fix my eyes and brain on the world. Such a relief it was. It's an excellent medication for me even though I don't have ADD. Thanks for that explanation, Bob. I have no idea if MS has any effect on epinephrine and norepinephrine, but I can't imagine how.
4703993 tn?1379768388 During spontaneous loss of consciousness, all 4 patients had an increase in plasma epinephrine levels (mean 3.8 times baseline), and no change or a decrease in plasma norepinephrine levels (mean 0.86 times baseline), so that the plasma epinephrine:norepinephrine ratio increased substantially (5.3 times baseline).
770296 tn?1244385841 The primary catecholamines are dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine. These hormones are released into the bloodstream in response to physical or emotional stress. They help transmit nerve impulses in the brain, increase glucose and fatty acid release for energy, dilate bronchioles, and dilate the pupils. Norepinephrine also constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure, and epinephrine increases heart rate and metabolism.

If so, did your doctor draw blood and test these levels during a tilt? That can be very informative. If it helps at all, my levels were, pre-tilt: Dopamine - less than 20, Epinephrine - 25, Norepinephrine - 316; during tilt: Dopamine - less than 20, Epinephrine - less than 10, Norepinephrine - 258.
Avatar f tn The reason being antidepressants like Amitryptyline are known to work in migraines and serotonin agonists used to treat migraine are helpful in combating depression as well. Hope this answers your question!
Avatar f tn Have you had your thyroid and those adrenal hormones: epinephrine, norepinephrine, metanephrine and normetanephrine levels checked? Do you have any additional symptoms that you think might be unrelated to menopause, such as shortness of breath with exertion?
Avatar f tn s left after the epinephrine is spent, and normetanephrine, the inactive metabolite of norepinephrine, which they also measure). But it sounds like from what you are saying that it doesn't block the emission of epinephrine, just the action it takes- I'd suggest if you don't hear quickly from your doctor you consult a knowledgeable pharmacist for their opinion.
Avatar m tn This can be physical stress just as injury or mental stress. It changes your norepinephrine and epinephrine. If these are out of balance you can get anxiety and ill. Allergies as well effect you immune system. Environmental factors also affect the endocrine system. Such as pollution, lead and many other things. So it is a variety of things. Fatigue can also be caused by low TSH made by the thyroid.
969132 tn?1249324251 I recommend you get your norepinephrine tested, including standing and a fasting plasma free metanephrines (inactive metabolites of catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine and helpful toward ruling out pheochromocytoma). High norepinephrine I've read, can actually cause a panic attack. Norepinephrine is part of the autonomic nervous system and is not controlled by emotion.
Avatar n tn If you're low on glycine and taurine, which help the body make the neurotransmitters you're low on, you need to check the quality of the protein you're eating. Glycine and taurine are amino acids, and along with tyrosine and phenalynine and tryptophan manufacture the neurotransmitters that regulate mood. I would look to your diet and make sure you're eating sufficient protein.
1131237 tn?1260211024 Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter like serotonin; unlike Zoloft, Effexor targets both norepinephrine and serotonin, which is why it's making you nuts -- norepinephrine is a stimulant more useful for people suffering from pure depression, not anxiety.
787406 tn?1339203183 I sleep maybe two hours at a time and wake in the midst of a sweating episode. Can you tell me how you are doing and what tests and/or diagnosis they have come up with. I hope both of you are finding answers...and that it's something easily remedied. Would really appreciate hearing back from you. All the best....
5986700 tn?1380791380 t allow the metabolizing of our natural uppers. Epinephrine and Norepinephrine, and they accumulate into anxiety or mania. That is why I think it is working different now, there are no pain killers or other mood suppressing drugs to balance it out.
Avatar f tn Wellbutrin will not be effective for anxiety because it increases your catecholamine levels (dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine) which are all excitatory neurotransmitters. Wellbutrin is usually prescribed for lethargic depression, which is not necessarily a sad or agitated depression, but a flat, a motivated, fatigued, low energy, and an overall feeling of the living dead.
Avatar n tn one of the popular Ayurvedic herbs, is also known as velvet bean or cowhage. This herb contains L-Dopa, a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Phosphatidylserine: A specialized lipid (fat) that occurs naturally in the body. It is a necessary component to regulate the function of all cells and is found in the highest concentration in the brain.
Avatar m tn It is almost as good as prostrate milking for maintaining a healthy prostate and sexual system. There are a large number of health problems that can occur from over masturbating like chronic fatigue, back pain, slow erections, poor concentration etc. It is necessary to ejaculate regularly to maintain health and healthy sperm. But over masturbation depletes your body of energy and vital mineral elements (primarily Zinc).
Avatar n tn Have a catecholomine test done to determine your epinephrine/norepinephrine levels-that could be the cause, if they are out of whack-good luck
Avatar f tn That is very interesting information. I found a pubmed article over a year ago about L-DOPS and NOH and showed it to my son's doctor. He didn't say anything about it, but then, this was about 3 months before my son's pituitary surgery, and I think everyone was hoping the surgery would end his symptoms of autonomic dysfunction. This article came out of the Dysautonomia Research Laboratory, NYU School of Medicine.
Avatar n tn Beta blockers primarily block B1 and B2 receptors. By blocking the effect of norepinephrine and epinephrine, beta blockers reduce heart rate, reduce blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and may constrict air passages by stimulating the muscles that surround the air passages to contract. The goal is to slow down the heart and make the vessels able to accept the pulse pressure from each beat, thus reducing blood pressure.
Avatar m tn ve known people who were. Do you have a specific question or are you generally looking for someone to commiserate? I have generalized dysautonomia as well as some other rare conditions and am on home healthcare.
787406 tn?1339203183 I would like to know what your thoughts are about these test,everything I have read on the net about these test say that the plasma is more reliable than the 24 HR urine because you may not be having an episode at that period of time. I had a total Thyroidectomy (with papillary cancer and De Quervain's thyroiditis,difficult surgery and i am having problems with vocal cords and throat) on March 27th.
1143570 tn?1261219756 Other hormones produced by doing exercise are insulin, thyroxine, growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, epinephrine, glucagon. Those are all good for you and having good balanced hormones will help your brain and as well you body. For more information about the benefits of nutrition and exercise for mood disorders you can read my post dedicated to the subject: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn For years it has been known in medicine that low levels of Serotonin and/or Norepinephrine can cause many diseases and illness.
1438638 tn?1304946457 Depending on your symptoms, you might ask for aldosterone, renin, angiotensin II, and dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. All of these can be done by an endo and all are implicated in various AD symptoms. Be sure the endo tests all thyroid hormones, not just TSH and T4. Good luck on Thursday!
