Yes! It is like ONE simple change effects everything. During the years of strong body pain and with that complications with my body temp (never got that checked... regret that today) different supplements that I used to take to make my stomach feel better, like enzyme-q10 and L-theanine just DID NOT WORK under some of these conditions... it was like my body totally ended all work inside itself when in normal inactivity. Remember I had a job within 20 minutes walking time and that was enough to make the supplements work. But when I was home... it did not work at all. I espiaclly wonder about L-theanine that would work quite fine on my stomach that it DID NOT do that effect when I simply was home "doing nothing"... it should have been able to cross the blood brain barrier and given effect to the nervecells witout being affected by such a factor of what I was doing for the moment!!! Complete mystery.
> You probably know this, but there is a location in the brain that recognizes facial expressions. WEIRD how quickly it affected that area. I swear my 2 tiny doses of neurontin were involved in screwing up my nervous system to create weird feelings I can't even describe. Caused a lot of chaos in my life for a long time.
Yes, I do know that it exists such an area. Effexor must have slammed that area pretty good.
> The same neurotransitter can have a completely different affect in different areas of the brain.
> Bodies are wierd. I get pissed at mine a lot. :)Yes Indeed... I so wish I had on a computer program connected to the brain a complete view of the stuff that goes on in the brain and nervous system. That would probably explain a lot... but I guess that lies some hundred years into the future.
One other thing about my strange reactions... melatonin made all my stomach troubles and body pain and depression and problems with relaxing go away... it was stronger than anything I have ever tried before or after... and that witout feeling "druged". Thats why I have some hopes to AGOMELATINE. Why I quit melatonin? The "immunity" the brain uses to control natural substances already present in the brain... it goes in very quickly so I only got this enormus effect 6-7 times ,, then it faded away.
Phillipa: Ah :) so thats how it works.. I'll mail you when time allows me.
