Dealing with dopamine withdrawal

[EvolvingPhoenix]

Good question, I'm in the middle of doing my ethereal channeling so this maybe a bit all over the place.

In short, dopamine is the chemical which gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you go FORWARD in a situation that you are mulling over. Serotonine gives you a sense of accomplishment when you ponder other options and people and make a "wide" instead of "forward" choice. Both are used in neurotypical people at different times to produce a sense of wellbeing. Most narcotics increase dopamine, some increase seretonin like LSD and hallucinogenics, though as a rule of thumb, people use drugs to feel dopamine, not serotonine, this is true in street level as coffee, energy drinks, tobacco and almost all repetivie activities we have on thsi planet are dopamine heavy. So, in short, you cant, you cant get over a dopamine craving but it gets better over time, eventually if you go too far into it you'll lose interest in life in general so its keepeing you on your feet, if you stop using dopamine your body interpets it as being in starvation mode so it will fight even harder to keep getting dopamine. The essentially only safe and widely available way to produce dopamine naturally is to get sick rekd and pump iron like a dawg, that being said, I'm not one for that path so I'll ride out my dopamine crush, I know i can do it, enough sleeping pills, time and a steady environment will get me there, sleeping pills help when the dopamine crash is the worst but eventually even quitting drinkin 3 energy drink cans a day for a few years gets rough.

I dunno about sleeping pills to get through a dopamine crash, but your post was quite informative, so thanks for that, Cyan.
