Hi everyone,
I have a question about opiates.
Here goes:
I am wondering what their mode of action is in the brain?
Meaning do opiates increase or keep seratonin, dopamine, acetylcholine and one other in the brain?
Or do they increase the production of these neurotransmitters?
Or do they block the neuotransmitters from leaving the brain?
Or do they replace deficiencies of the neurotransmitters?
Or do they rebalance them?
I am wondering that if by supplementing instead of using an opiate could you achieve the same effect using for example:
5HTP
L Dopa
Achetylcholine such as Alpha GPC
St Johns Wart
And other supplements.
Can someone also clarify what are the 4 main neurotransmiters?
I do know that opiates have an effect on the MU receptors can some also suggest something natural that works on this.
Further do help in decreasing neuro inflamation?
I am trying to get a better understanding so I can supplment as opposed to using an opiate.
They help great for my pain but am wondering if my using the natural route I can somewhat achieve this.
Thanks again,
