Although I know alot about drugs used for mood disorders,I have no knowledge of illegal drugs.Not that I want to try them I was wondering which neurotransmitters they effect in the brain.
-How does LSD give hallucinations and the mind altering effects?
-How does MDMA give intense feelings of love?
-How is the high from heroin established?
-How does GHB affect the brain to produce euphoria?
-How does alcohol affect your mind to get you drunk?
I know cocaine is a dopamine agonist but that is all I know.
How is it these drugs create such euphoric states,while some serotonin(ssri's) TCA'S and other psychiatric drugs do not give the same feelings as illegal substances?
I am interested in how these drugs affect certain neurotransmitters.....Serotonin,NE,Dopamine,GABA
Or do they hit other thing in your body?
I am in no way condoning the use of these drugs but am curious on how they work.
Thanks
