I know my own problems have an etiology partially based on exposure to prenatal nicotine, which is a factor in ADHD (which I have). When I asked my pdoc about what effect this had on my CNS, he said (I think, it was a long time ago and an emotional issue for me, so i was not able to pay complete attention to his answer) that it would adversely affect the dopamine system. I am interested in investigating its effect on serotonin, though.
I experienced euphoria upon smoking, but most of my life, I have had no money to support any habit of any kind. The euphoria was related to a feeling of social ease, and is mimicked by high doses of Ritalin. Klonopin lowers anxiety, and helps me socialize superficially (which is a necessity in order to work with others) but doesn't make me feel 'natural' around others. Nicotine would create this sensation for a few minutes; Ritalin at high doses made this long enough to actually normalize (well, somewhat normalize) my social patterns (its effect on sleepiness was also a factor in this).
is there any possibility you can get galantamine prescribed?
