I have read of people taking Oxycodine, which I presume supplements the above NT. This being so, why was it prescribed for you. I believe that it is used to treat physical pain, ratherthan emotional pain, which, since Oxycontin is the NT that stimulates the feeling of love, is puzzling to me.
My question is, to those who take it, does it make you more caring to others, more emotional?
I ask because a stroke 12 years ago has destroyed my ability to feel love for anything or anyone (from the dog who I had owned for 10 years to my partner, who was the first man I had ever fallen in love with, I did not feel emotional, either, when my mother passed away 9 years after the stroke.)
This not being able to love is putting me in a very lonely, fearful place, and makes people back off from me; since I am obviously not getting any sort of pleasure from anything in life, nobody wants to hang around me and catch my blues.
Could this medication promote feelings of love, or am I just clutching at straws.
