    Is dependency on a cellular device for a dopamine addiction disruptive?

          Ahh that makes sense then. Fun fact, cocaine acts as an reuptake inhibitor of seratonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. So while it does more than just that, that particular function is similar to how SSRI and SNRIs work. Hell if it wasn’t for the side effects I’d probably use Cocaine as an antidepressant.

              That’s the other problem, afaik there’s not really a good level for a therapeutic dose of the chemical as it is. Kinda like the good effects are strongly attached to the bad ones.
