      @@jenny.8915 no those have different functions. Calcium is used to bind the synaptic vesicles to the pre synaptic neurons membrane. This releases neurotransmitters that could either be excitatory or inhibitory depending on the part of the brain it is released. Chlorines function is less clear but it does have an affect on the excitation of a neuron. Chlorine is most likely inhibitory alongside potassium. Calcium has less of a function on the action potential and more on the neurotransmission of signals across neurons. Sodium is excitatory.

      @ShardulIyer Před 4 lety +2

      Irregularities in norepinephrine levels or a quick raise will induce anxiety but not cause it. Anxiety is a stress response & norepinephrine alone, isn't responsible for it. As for bupropion/wellbutrin - that's an NMDA, which simply means that it not only affects dopamine, norepinephrine but acetylcholine & some other neurotransmitters based off regions being targeted. Lastly, irregularities in levels of one or more neurotransmitters will cause anxiety/depression symptoms as a response by brain trying to balance itself.

Again, i am not a medical professional but a research scientist so it will be reckless to suggest something that I am not familiar with. As much as I know, while the brain strives for homeostasis much like the body - the brain has regenerative limitations despite the fascinating nature of neuroplasticity which again is very much dependent upon site. Regarding the reaction you mentioned - it might have a link since compounds interacting with hormones can leave a lasting effect on production & thus cause variety of effects including desirable ones & side-effects as well. I can't say much & maybe an endocrinologist, neurology specialist might assist better.

    Wait wait so at 4:00 you are saying depression is treated with serotonin? I.e. you administer serotonin? I'm pretty the standard treatment is with SSRIs, which inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, not direct administration of the serotonin itself.

    • @OwenWithAHammer
      @OwenWithAHammer Před 7 lety +13

      I think he meant that drugs that affect 5-HT are used to treat depression. Inhibiting the reuptake of 5-HT allows for more to be in the synaptic cleft at all times, meaning that in a way the depression is being treated with more serotonin.

      Tyler Schmidt these psych meds do jack shit and actually screw u up more. Notice what you’re saying, THEY INHIBIT THE REUPTAKE PROCESS. It’s hypothesis is this will make more serotonin roam in the brain which is false. It kills off neurotransmitters because it no longer has anything to transmit at the synapse. This is why they say there’s a need to increase the dosage. That’s because the body and brain no longer supplement it and the medicine is. What happens then? You poop out. You end up destroying neurotransmitters and reducing the amount you originally had. These meds are evil and they’re being taught from big pharma they’re not doing these functions which is outrageous.

    • @ShardulIyer
      @ShardulIyer Před 4 lety +2

      No, it doesn't. Norepinephrine may influence cortisol but there are plenty of other factors associated with norepinephrine-seratonin interactions or even dopamine-norepinephrine interactions, which is why atomoxetine fails as an NRI antidepressant but excels as adhd medication. However, it's so complex to simply state that whether norepinephrine, seratonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, gaba irregularities are causing anxiety which itself varies over a spectrum. Not to mention, norepinephrine helps in extreme cases where someone with chronic anxiety, will exhibit excess norepinephrine thus an overactive sympathic nervous system that is interestingly calmed down by low uptake of norepinephrine & regulation of it, instead of irregularities of levels which is what gives that feeling of anxiety and not the other way around.

      @@xxaidanxxsniperz6404 isn't that why I mentioned to the original commenter that we can't simply assume that norepinephrine drugs work at same level & each patient also exhibit different results though atleast a baseline can be maintained for some, allowing for treatment options. Plus the modulating ones are the ones we call RUI/re-uptake inhibitiors as you correctly mentioned that not all create new norepinephrine but help regulate the compromised flow as with chronic conditions and homeostasis factors. Even partial agonist & complete agnoist behaviour have varying results leading me to state how you can't generically state that norepinephrine causes anxiety without knowing a person's history.

      @@ShardulIyer you seem to know a lot about about neurochemistry, mind if I ask you how mirtazapine affects the metabolism of vyvanse? I have ADHD and barely used stimulants, in the past 20 mg of vyvanse would last 7-8 hours but with mirtazapine the effects only last 4 hours. My theory is that the rise in serum triglycerides adds to the metabolization of LDX, alongside its effects on some enzymes mechanics. It seems contradictory as mirtazapine increases norepinephrine and serotonin by binding to A2 receptors. I'm going to see if there is a difference if I take my mirtazapine after the effects of the vyvanse fully wear off instead of in the morning at 30 mg. 15 mg at night.

Having said that, I also strongly suggest not to share your dosage online - either on comments like these or even social media forums - this is bcoz you just dunno who you are talking to & any advice may result in personal damage. Now, without getting into complex interactions or neuro chemistry - i can however comment on how these two are cross-reacting with each-other. Vyvanse uses your metabolic rate which again depends upon your circardian rhythm, norepinephrine levels, etc. Now, once you do take mirtazapane - it starts to mess around these factors so while you still have Vyvanse compounds within you, they start to compete with mirtazapane compounds which each individually have respective affinity - the part where I mentioned agnoist behaviour. Due to this, mirtazapane might start slowing your metabolic rate, much like how melatonin at night - will potentially numb the impact of norepinephrine dependent medication & even substances like nicotine, caffeine. Therefore, I highly suggest to consult with your doctor about timing of these medication, to avoid such cross-reactions. Rest, i can't comment much as i am not qualified to medical diagnose/counslt as such. Hope this helped.
