King Elliot- Wow! You are very clued up that was a very interesting reply! I didn't realise how many different receptors there were for dopamine and serotonin etc looks like its not going to be as simple as I thought to find the right treatment etc!!!! you say dopamine has the same mechanism of action as methylphenidate what kind of treatments would mimic this? and what would you say the most successful one is, obviously everyones dp is different but what has worked/not worked for you. I feel like since we both had a bad expeiance with cannabis we may have done similar damage to our neurotransmitters. I am currently on Lamical 200mg and feel confident that with time I may see some result since it is a mood stabiliser hopefully fixing whatever imbalance there is am I correct in that? (sorry I probably sound pretty stupid I'm not as clued up as you seem to be but trying my best to understand)
As for the panic attack on weed I can totally relate its funny thinking back now I to thought I was going to die, we were staying on a canalboat just outside Amsterdam I had smoked a lot in the past and thought eating a cake would be easy and not affect me- I was wrong! I ended up getting a taxi back to boat alone feeling ike I was on a full on acid trip I lay down and had to search on youtube 'I'm having a panic attack' and 'how to calm down on a bad trip' I was trying to call a paramedic and then I freaked out so much I ould hardly walk I crawled cross the boat in the dark and trid knocking on the neighbouring boats door for help, thankfully they weren't in I crawled back and lay in despairfor the remaining hours of feeling fucked and spent the rest o the trip feeling like a ghost haha!!!
Autonomic space monkey- interesting reply! would you say your dp seemed to improve after stopping the drugs or no different? I can agree th after effects of taking drugs aren't worth dealing wit for the few hours of normality. I wish I coul stop at two cans, I tend to feel very anxious after a few drinks so I think stuff it I'm going to get smashed and forget about everything!!!
