Discover the root cause of your health issues and create habits for lasting health

DOPAMINE Withdrawal (DETOX?)

NT found in CNS and PNS(adrenal medulla and kidneys/T-cells)

Central Nervous System-Dopamine is synthesized in substantia nigra pars compacta, ventral mesencephalon and hypothalamus

Central Nervous System Pathways
**Mesocortical pathway-modulates motor activity
**Mesolimibic pathways-emotional response such as reward and pleasure
**Nigrostriatal pathways-basal ganglia modulates motor activity and personality
**Tuberoinfundibular pathways-used for hypothalamic modulation of prolactin release (stimulates breast development and milk production in women)

Peripheral Nervous System(PNS)-Dopamine promotes the sympathetic response (HR and BP) and renal hemodynamics. Does not cross the BBB therefore peripheral dopamine (DA) does not impact the central nervous system.

Dopamine is usually thought of as a transmitter of physical and psychological arousal.

Balance of pain, pleasure, reward and movement

Small amounts of dopamine release are constant and your body want to maintain homeostasis

Am on day 5 of a caffeine detox, this timely video is helping me to understand my flat mood as part of the withdrawal process. Thank you Doctor

[katisugarbaker]

Thanks. All this time I didn’t know about the adrenals/kidney production of dopamine. No one talks about that. Your videos are the best combo of layman talk and being thorough without being too long or going down too many rabbit trails. Thanks.

As a homeless guy thank you I've been suffering to this and I've been seeing and being a low being. I used to be super social I ended up in worst places in hospital and their drugs well I'm 18 yr old I'm still

[userk]

Very informative! Thank you so much for making this video. It was bery helpful <3

[Cookies]

Would be interested in deeper explanation of the role of kidneys/adrenals in dopamine production and function

[robinq]

I can't wait for part 2 & 3! I need help now...

[boabglen]

So what's the best way to rebalance dopamine? Fast from all the above and do harder things to equal out the pain pleasure balance?

[Independent]

Doc, I’m having seriously rough withdrawal symptoms. I have burnt out adrenals from PTSD and quit marajuanna at the same time as arimidex for gyno. What can help with my symptoms?!?

[melo]

I have over stimulation of dopeamine from drugs and I’m trying my best to fight it right now I’m on day 3 and idk if I can take this pain and irritation/agitation my body overheats and I have cold sweats I’m trying to learn the science behind this I want to live a normal life and go to college 😢

[Filthycoffin]

How do you fix the brain if you have been injured by SSRI that destroy the center where the dopamine is made I now have pssd I can’t feel joy or any pleasure. I have been off of it for two years. My emotions are blunted.

[RoryVanucchi]

Good work. Try to limit myself to two cups of coffee daily, not easy

[annb]

They say I have MSA....but then I tested and had hi dopamine....but I can't move without siminet...

[nosir]

What if a person is stopping a decade long heavy meth addiction? I’m thinking 200 mgs of Modafinil BID, .125 mgs Pramipexole TID, and Mirtazapine 30 mgs. All these have been prescribed to me and I think I’m ready to stop but if I don’t use first thing in the morning I never really wake up and I’m in a pissy mood, I get restless and almost feel like I’m high as hell but without the good feelings. On day 2 I simply can’t form a thought and I can’t get out of bed I’ve pissed myself multiple times in a day while not even caring when I happened to wake up. I’ve made it that far and went and scored . I think I’m in a bad situation. If I don’t use later in the day I feel like I will have a seizure and I clench my teeth so hard it’s broken a back tooth
