Question

Posted by rjlockhart04-08 on August 3, 2009, at 11:01:23

I know the awnser pretty much, but why do stimulants such as caffine, or anything that produce stimus in somewhere in the brain that is not getting stimuli. It makes, you stimulate yourself, like getting up, and thinking about something that is stimulating, but it's not on topic, but just to think about something "Roller Coaster...., or something really funny, or intese" to keep your mind focused. I found that it work good like that.

Movement...shake your leg, or something to make stimlatory in the body, that goes to the nerve.

Get what saying? what part of the brain isnt stimulated, because i knew in the past that dopamine was a key-fuction to "focus, and motivation" yet if there is too much, or too little, or not in the correct place in the brain, it causes malfect's. Norepheinerine is more alertness, and paying attention. Straterra...i took for a while, the only thing it does is increase attention, yet it caused bad moods, wasnt pleasant. Nothing was working on the other part, that's why it may not be the #1 medication of thought today. It doesnt completely help with motivation in the brain.

Just luck, i'll get on a correct medication and it will be known that it works.

We all know that there are specific and logical reasons why these illnesses develop and how the various treatments work. Unfortunately, medicine does not yet have a clear understanding of these things. Sometimes, you have to choose drugs based upon who you see get well when they are used. For now, we must rely on empirical observation rather than theory.

Scientists are learning more and more with each passing day.
