Avatar f tn i always had luck coaxing the endorphins back with exercise ... even walking in the early days of recovery. i still need to exercise most days in order to get the endorphins going -- good luck.
Avatar n tn I was wondering what role endorphins play in sexual arousal and desire. Does a release of endorphins directly make you feel aroused? Or do they work in an indirect way by giving you a general sense of well being, happiness, and excitement which will enable you to feel aroused, desirous, and pleasure in a possible sexual situation? Thanks!!!
Avatar n tn Also, after several months of regular exercise, you develop an increased sensitivity to endorphins (a higher high from the same level of endorphins), and endorphins that are produced tend to stay in your blood for a longer period of time. This makes longer duration exercise easier (you're feeling no pain) and it causes your exercise high to last for a longer period of time after exercise.
Avatar m tn A question on behalf of my uncle. Lack of exercise is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Is it because no exercise can increase cholesterol or is there some other reason.???
579469 tn?1311705550 Hi. I have a funny question about withdrawing from opiates... I am on day 4 of a moderate withdrawal from hydrocodone. Today I am noticing a strange (and good!) sensations of what feels like endorphins kicking in. This is not my first time detoxing (unfortunately) and I don't ever recall having this sensation before like this.
Avatar m tn Exercise is critical! I can actually feel the endorphins hitting the same part of the brain pain pills do. If you exercise you know what Im saying. Its the one thing I know for sure thats helped stay clean. If I want to use I know something else that will satisfy that urge. Its WAY better than nothing.
Avatar n tn The energy level does return and also the endorphins will stabilize. It just takes time. When I quit the drugs I thought that in a week or two I would be 'normal' ----- No, it takes awhile and depends on how long you used and your own system. I have been off the Opiates for about 2 1/2 months now and am starting to feel much better -- still a ways to go though. It is a gradual process but one day you just notice that "hey, I really feel good today." All the best.
Avatar f tn The first day you exercise it will stimulate production of endorphins which will be made that night between 2-4 AM. The next day when you exercise the endorphins are released. Endorphins can dramatically lift your mood and energy. The fact that you have been on them so long is a factor in recovery time. Just be patient.
Avatar f tn Yes its normal-your whole system is out of whack-I am in the tapering phase right now and I am so depressed some days I just cry all day!!! I exercise and in between breaths I just SOB-but when I'm done-I feel a whole lot better! Hang in there!
Avatar n tn This is the post that helped me the most to understand how the brain responds to the pills and how it recovers! Time is your best friend. We did not get into this overnight and it does take time. You have to remember how opiates work, and why you feel depressed etc. when you quit taking them and after you are over the withdrawals and often why we keep craving long after the physical withdrawals are over. Opiates bound to the opioid receptors in your brain and body.
Avatar f tn and why exercise helps so much cos it forces the production of endorphins/dopamine...u have heard of the runner who is addicted to running? it is the huge dopamine relaese that drives them to do this daily...they feel the rush of endorphins and it is addicting mentally to them..
Avatar f tn Congrat's on 30 days of clean time!! This is the part of withdrawal that gets to me too. It's hard, but try to exercise, it gets your endorphins firing. There is a product called 5HTP that helps with Serotonin and depression, some people on here swear by it. 5HTP is not recommended for those on SSRI's though. Not sure about MAO's.
Avatar m tn Hi Bandog..The Metal part is the hardest..It does take time for all the Endorphins, Gabba & Serotonin to balance back..Even the Dopamines are unbalanced..Try to fine the info on here about the "Disease of Addiction and the Pleasures Pathway"..There are a lot of videos you can order too..I liked the one called "Pleasures Unwoven" He shows how it works by going into canyons and saying it is like the curves in our Brain..
Avatar f tn I did not join this class to lose weight specifically -- I joined for the natural endorphins from exercise -- but I certainly dont want to gian weight.. My diet has not changed. The only difference is this class. Im discouraged and don't know if I should quit the class .. But I do enjoy it.. so Im stuck. Does you know why this could happen?? My mom keeps saying its because "your building muscle and mucle weighs more than fat" -- which I have heard a million times..
Avatar f tn Exercise is PROVEN to reduce the amount of time it takes to replace natural endorphins, as exercise creates endorphins (ever heard or experienced a "runner's high"? endorphins.) Exercise for at least 12 minutes per day with heartrate over 120bpm for maximum benefit... there was a chart i saw one time showing an opiate addicts brain and the amount of endorphins- basically you are at 0 when you quit taking pills..
1702181 tn?1307577798 Hi, I am a strond believer in exercise helps stress. It releases endorphins into the body that help make us feel happy. I would try the IBS support tablets from the pharmacy.

Avatar f tn phenylalanine is an amino that helps pain..also mild exercise could help as exercise relases endorphins as do narcotics..but exercise is a much safer whay to acheive this goal//the lack of endorphins could be cauing alot of this pain he feels...did he have a severe back problem before he started using?
Avatar m tn Opiates bound to the opioid receptors in your brain and body. They release their artificial endorphins to them, and block the bodies natural endorphins. After a while the neurons that produce the body's natural endorphins disappear. There is no need for them so they just don't rejuvenate like they would normally.
Avatar m tn Good job. Exercise is the best thing you can do. It kick starts the body into producing endorphins again. The pills depletes or stops our supplies of endorphins and seratonin.
Avatar f tn Yes it really does help. Our natural endorphins have been numbed out while we were using. Exercise gets everything flowing again. We cant see inside our body but all our organs take a real beating and we need to get them up and working again.
Avatar m tn They release their artificial endorphins to them, and block the bodies natural endorphins. After a while the neurons that produce the body's natural endorphins disappear. There is no need for them so they just don't rejuvenate like they would normally. When you stop taking the opiates, they leave your opioid receptors bare, and they are calling out for your body's natural endorphins, but there isn't any there at first.
Avatar m tn Does anyone have any insight on the impact of exercise and sweating for reducing and shortening WD's? Can it shorten the lenght of time? Does sweating do anything in regards to reducing/shortening wd's? Does the exercise change/restore things in the brain faster? Pardon all my /'s (FYI: My issue is opiates) Very curious to learn the in's and out's of the impact. Thanks!
403399 tn?1201833095 I mentioned this in another thread, but I was just thinking that we all take these horrible little pills to produce the euphoric feeling it produces. We love the endorphins. My question is, how do we naturally produce these endorphins? Is the feeling the same as produced by the pills? It's been so long for me, that I really don't know the answer.
Avatar m tn I am 19 years old and up until I graduated high school I either worked out played sports or something active that got all my endorphins and adrenaline going(ran XC, football, LaX, track). Now that I am in college I have not been exercising. I graduated spring 2008 and it is currently fall 2009. Lately I have been working 35 to 40 hrs a week along with college fulltime. I have felt depressed/not the same for the past year or so, could all my problems be coming from a lack of exercise?

Avatar f tn Just this little ole Norco Queen here that HAS to say the a LITTLE BIT OF EXERCISE DOES HELP YOU FEEL BETTER! Day 18 here off of a c/t Norco habit of 8-10 a/day x's 3 years (s/p 2 back surgeries) and I went out and rode my horse today for about an hour and not only did it feel GOOD to get out and do some exercise, but I have found that animals can REALLY make you feel BETTER!
