Another observation - I've deprived myself of sleep to try and correct my circadian rhythms, and sleep deprivation causes dopamine release.
The dopamine boost is borne out by the fact that cigarettes are making me feel extremely nauseous, as they do after I've taken opiates.
Again, the symptoms are very much improved.
I've ordered some enada NADH supplements to boost my dopamine - fingers crossed it alleviates my problems!
> It's gotta be the associated dopamine release that's doing it, which ties in with my original theory that the PHYSICAL aspect of the condition was caused by dopamine depletion. It makes a lot of sense - Lex & Celexa are the most selective SSRI's for serotonin so have a high risk for dopamine depletion, and my neuro says he sees the most SSRI-related facial dystonias from those two meds. Also, SSRI akathisia is caused by a huge hike in serotonin and a corresponding big drop in dopamine. It all fits.
