Does Methamphetamine effect people with ADHD different from people with not ADHD , So say there were 2 guys one had ADHD and the other one did not, they both took a piece of meth (same quantity ),etc... Would the effects be different in each person?
@c0ncerta haven't seen a study on it but I bet their reactions would be different. for one thing I have a feeling the guy with ADHD would like it more.
Yeah, Great thanks alot mate, Ritalin and Concerta works for me wonders but other people say its bad.. Anyway, Thank you for making this video and replying to my comment,
@c0ncerta from what i've read, someone with ADHD doesn't feel as big of a rush as people without. it takes a bit more to get to the same place as everyone else and some people w/ ADHD don't get as addicted.
Guys I need help!! I have really high levels of prolactin and i'm only 14.I read that the neurotransmitter dopamine lowers prolactin what should i do to raise dopamine??Please help cause we don't know what to do and the doctors here are so crap they say i'm fakinf my headaches cause by hyperprolactinomeia.Please thumbs up so the person who uploaded this video sees.
@FashionableMKPlover sorry, I'm not a doctor so I can't give real advice on this, though you probably shouldn't go out and try to raise dopamine levels just cause you've read it inhibits prolactin, there could be all kinds of other effects you don't know about. if your tests clearly state that you have dangerously high prolactin levels then your doctors have to react, it's their job. i don't understand why they would refuse if the test results are clear.
@FashionableMKPlover I think dopamine prevents the decrease of prolactin, but it may depend in some cases. You need to find or contact a better doctor for your hyperprolactinmeia, who will probably give you 'dopamine agonist' medication for treatment.
Thank you for posting this video. It is very informative and helpful to me, but please, SPEAK FUCKING SLOWER, cause its hard to understand, cause of new definitions and that english is my secondary language. Because of that I need to replay some moments a few times.
"If you're still watching this video right now it's because it's releasing dopamine, and what ever you do when this movie stops will be what releases the most dopamine."
I can use telepathy. I never found any document about any other existing person in human history like myself, but science never did serious research on me and I actually did not exist in world of science.
I could easy give evidence for telepathy.Maybe some of Neurologist or scientist
could help me or is maybe interesting to make research on my phenomena.
@ddogandrew7 not really, first of all meth is hard to get hold of for most people and if you haven't tried it before your brain won't be motivated to get it even if 'rationally' you know that it would lead to high dopamine release. second, a meth addiction tends to screw up a person's brain and life so much that average dopamine levels are actually lower than those of a non-addict. only when the addict gets his/her fix do you see really high dopamine levels. so, not worth it.
@robtrivera relative to most legal commodities meth is hard to get hold of. most people would not know how to get hold of some, it would take them some research, networking and discomfort.
@robtrivera I guess we know what type of people you hang out with. At one time, coke could have easily been had, however, I would have no clue where to get it these days.
@iPlantChannel Don't have a clue what country you are in but in Texas, it's typical findings for example that 70, 80% of probationers test psotive for meth at least 1x, in only a two year probation sentence. County hospitals across TX continuously report upwards of fifty, sixty percent test for meth useage. Moreover, if meth WERE even a challenge TO obtain, nobody would have to show picture i.d., sign a book, and have i.d. checked just to buy ten sinus pills. You have to be living in Antartica?
@iPlantChannel If meth WERE hard to get, I probably wouldn't have to have produce my drivers license photo i.d. checked and sign a book electronically at corner drug store just to but ten sinus pills. Don't know where you are living but TX and many other states are and have been saturated in meth a long long time.
so technically if you take your friend out just for an ice-cream...its equivalent of having sex with her.....so after we've had our ice-creams....i can say..''that was nice baby''
@HeIIas13 You embrace who you are and never adopt a label that causes you to feel neuro chemically broken we are all wired so differently drugs aren't necessary but can be used as tools etc......
I also would love to know of any peer reviewed material concerning dopamine sensitivity someone was talking about introverts being more sensitive to dopamine and it peaked my interest
@HeIIas13 My guitar teacher always tells me, "Practice is actually a disguised psychiatrist." And I can't help but agree with him. I've had ADD for a lot of my life. Guitar practice has helped me focus more than I ever thought imaginable. And I mean actual practice, not mindless noodling on the fretboard. Practice can be applied to anything, like iPlantChannel mentioned, physical exercise. Really anything structured that forces you to be consistent, rather than sporadic. Try meditation.
so less dopamine in the persons brain means a small drive to acomplish things in life? and when he uses drugs, that need is fullfilled since you feel ''rewarded''(even though artificial) ? aint that about a bitch.
@Learningbyhearing well.. our brains certainly determine what releases the most dopamine, but I wouldn't say we make a decision about it. you can decide to learn something, which will change how your dopamine system works, but many things will release dopamine whether you like it or not (just look at substance abuse..)
@Learningbyhearing Then why not just decide that watching the paint on the wall dry to release more pleasure (dopamine) than sex? Make eating poo more pleasurable than eating an orange? Or decide to listen and enjoy the same piece of music everyday for the rest of your life and never get bored of it? Or to choose to enjoy a 1 dollar over 1 million dollars? Wouldn't make sense in a evolutionary basis.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you to some extent, but that would take pages to explain.
I just witnessed man and woman gangstalkers, whose car is an old black Benz, license # KAYS DDY. They were ambushing in front of the victim's house along Golden West Ave/ Lower Azusa, waiting for a TI to come home. The moment the TI reached within a certain distance, they ran the car as they were trained by the criminal leader. Their faces tells they are fully mind controled like insane cult members and their brain seemed occupied with dorpamine when they were comitting stalking.
now the big question(s)- what is pleasure? what is it? who are we in relation to it? what drives us? are we really in control of ourselves or is something else in control of us?
the question is not- what is dopamine? but- who is dopamine?
@anewera2012 that's a very negative way of putting it. the facts only tell us that motivation depends on dopamine. it does not make us 'slaves', it's simply how we work. and we've only scratched the surface, the dopamine system is wonderfully complex, understanding its central role in our psychology doesn't make humans any less remarkable.
@iPlantChannel who chooses our life, dopamine or us? you see this as negative because u fear letting go of youre self defention to consider comonsenicaly that you are but a puppet who dosent really know what the essence of life is or means.
@anewera2012 you can't ask whether 'dopamine or us' is in control because there would be no 'us' as we know it without dopamine. learning about the role of dopamine in motivation is learning how we work, it does not make us puppets or slaves unless you think of your dopamine system as something apart from yourself, as something inhuman, which, as I say, is not the right way of looking at it.
@iPlantChannel We aren't really in control after all our we? The more you learn about cellular biology, the more it becomes apparent we are just big colonies of molecules, arranged into cells, acting as the flow of electrons and charge would dictate, with no real motivation to speak of. Essentially, what I'm saying is this: everything you know is a lie.
@Johnsen2012 I don't see it that way. I don't know why you chose to use the word 'just' there. We are molecules and cells, sure, our minds are organised electrical discharge, but there's nothing petty or sad about that. What did you think you were before you read about cellular biology? A supernatural spirit? What is this 'real motivation' you think you've lost? Human motivation is an aspect of our reward systems, but learning this doesn't make motivation any less real or important.
@anewera2012 Your comment is akin to saying that we are slaves to our heart and lungs because without them working at a regulated level we would not exist. Dopamine is just a part of the regulatory system of our brain/neurological system. It is the mechanism used by the brain to communicate between portions of the brain--albeit, one in which we may be able to pharmacologically manipulate. Dopamine is not a competing entity. It is part of us just as our large organs are us.
Dopamine can't cross the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and therefore can't act on the CNS. Some anti-depressants DO work on Dopamine, however, it won't actively treat depression like an SSRI or SNRI will (because it can't access those parts of the brain)
The best way to increase dopamine via diet. 1.Do not eat or drink any refined carbohydrate. [White sugar and white bread] 2. Tea spoon of flax seeds every day, at least 3 pieces of fruit a day, eat a normal good diet.
@warriorprince1010 nope. nicotine activates the release of dopamine in the brain 100000 times more than what you mentioned, and is contained in cauliflower, potatoes, green tomatoes and hot peppers.
@gabrielfrancois They do not increase dopamine by 100000 more at all. Pepeprs are good I agree with you. Flax seeds does it by Mega oils that create the natural amount our body needs. Nicotine gives a false amount and then there is a drop off.
@warriorprince1010 Okay then electronic cigarettes. I know there is drop off, but drop offs always occur, just at a different scale. Sexual activity is great for dopamine as well. Even when its just cerebral (imagined).
so lets say a guy has prolactin problems and is looking to take care of it by using dopamine as a tool to inhibit prolactin, one way to cure that prolactin problem is to go have as much fun as possible?
also does prolactin inhibit thyroid hormones? and could increase in dopamine lead to an increase in thyroid hormones
If you can give me info on where I can find studies on manipulating dopamine in modifying habit/behavior/lifestyle I would be very grateful.
using drugs won't work because it would be chasing the drug and not the outcome of the behavior.
So far I can only come up with hypnotism.brain washing that trick brain into believing something is good for them and makes them happy. like religion or sales marketing
Everything you want releases dopamine and you want it because it releases dopamine.
I am writing this because it releases dopamine? ya, I do feel good learning about this.
I am breaking my head trying to think of a way to manipulate dopamine into doing something I dislike eg. sit ups or memorise shakespears. Any idea how I can do that? I tried some brain supplement that helps releases very little dopamine, but not much help, only tingling effect.
@superawesomefilm very good question. the iPlant 101 video describes my long term plan for doing what you talk about. right now the best we can do with our dopamine system is simply to treat it well - coffee and eating right are obvious. remember to take breaks systematically. reward yourself for key accomplishments if you can. keep coming up with new ways to express for yourself why you're working, what the goal state is. and get as much sex, exercise, social life and meditation as possible.
@iPlantChannel Thanks a lot! I your advice is very informative.
I just check out your iplant videos. The only problem with iplant other than risky, is it can be used for brain control, could be against a lot of public policy law such as undue influence or human rights problem. Politically it will be quite impossible for healthy public as motivational tool. I think you should already knew about this too.
What is the best legal or prescriptive drug to increase healthy level of dopamine?
@superawesomefilm I mean what is the best legal drug should a low dopamine person use increase this to a healthy level for motivational reason? Is unmotivated people always low in dopamine?
@superawesomefilm you're right, there's a lot of ethical problem with a technology this powerful, but I think it's possible to ensure safe and constructive use, check out the ethics section on the iplant dot eu website for more info on this. I've never heard of a strong legal dopamine supplement, as soon as they become powerful, they become addictive and hence illegal. the point of the iPlant is that you could control the addiction and use it for good.
@superawesomefilm@iPlantChannel ADHD medications - mainly methylphenidate (e.g. Ritalin) and amphetamines (e.g. Adderall) - powerfully stimulate dopamine activity, and shouldn't be addictive in low therapeutic doses. They are legal (thank goodness), but only with a doctor's prescription - which you'd need an ADHD diagnosis for. Maybe something to look into. ADHD can come with hypo- rather than hyperactivity, like in my case.
@Telepcanin not much, dopamine can't cross the blood-brain barrier. that's why patients with Parkinson's are given L-dopa, a dopamine-precursor that can..
Does using L-Theanine supplements, drinking green tea, smoking cigarettes & cannabis, getting a food intake of natural healthy dopamine food, B vitamins, vitamin C, Iron, Vitamin D, Working out, being creative, avoiding lots of sugar, sodium, & caffiene, and listening to music...increase dopamine?
In science sand particles form a certain pattern when activated by sound. Low frequency creates plain geometrical shapes. The higher frequency is, the more rich and exquisite pattern it takes. The interesting detail is when frequency changes before it becomes a solid shape, it creates chaos..In life- one has to go through an emotional turbulance, before things calm down. By changing your thought process, you change your life (same concept as the sand experiment)..
Every living organism has a certain frequency/sound vibration, measured in MHz. Healthy human operates on 68-70 MHz. Anything below 60 means a physical illness. Cancer comes on below 45 MHz, for example. Different frequency has a certain emotion provoking any disorder considering emotion is negative. Raise your vibration by being in the sun, staying positive, calm and kind to everyone. Emotion of love runs on 528 MHz. Negative emotions are very low in frequency which creates physical disorders..

@LionEntity dopamine is released from presynaptic terminals and then recycled (taken back up into the presynaptic terminal). releasing more dopamine means the release-recycle process happens more frequently.
whats the difference between dopamine and epinephrin? (and im sure theres a few others) ....
and can dopamine (the good feeling) ever reduce or go completely ? and also how much dopamine do humans have ??... If someone could kindly explain .... Thanks ...
@MrBOXA01 dopamine is a precursor of epinephrine but they have different functions in the brain. epinephrine is involved in extreme situations like fight or injury.
dopamine never disapears completely. when it's artificially removed in the lab animals stop eating and drinking. in parkinsons disease most of the dopamine involved in motor control disapears.
we don't know exactly how much dopamine is in the brain but there are about 500.000 neurons producing dopamine and they project widely.
@TheEnglishAtheist1 what would only be temporary? the artificial removal of dopamine in the lab? what they do is they either administer a dopamine receptor antagonist that prevents dopamine from having an effect, or they administer a toxin that destroys dopamine-producing neurons. the former treatment is temporary, the latter permanent.
@MrBOXA01 Cant go completely, but after orgasm it drops significantly and is replaced by a high level of Prolactin hormone for up to a couple of weeks at the most ; that can play fuck with you and make you depressed, agitated and anxious and not sleep properly. A similar thing happens with Cocaine withdrawal
@cinamona57 I used to feel like that sometimes, but your dopamine system is part of YOUR brain, and when you learn more about it you realize that it's not controlling you - it IS you.
I take a dopamine supplement on a daily basis - morning, noon and night, and I love it. It makes me feel euphoric, albeit for a short time but we, as human beings, have to get out fix from somewhere.
Placebo. Dopamine as a supplement won't reach the brain - it's incapable of crossing the BBB. Even if it did get into the brain, the chance of it having a clinically significant effect is very low, since the supplement is doing nothing to modulate the reuptake process.
Indirectly. It affects adenosine reuptake, which may affect dopamine levels to some extent, though the pathways and methods are completely different than benchmark stimulants such as amphetamine.
I stuck a laser pen in my ear and pressed the button. The beams came out of my eyes and it made me feel really happy. That was with a green pen. I'm going to try it with a red pen and maybe I'll have a brake light?
@srizo1990 That's weird, because I don't know anyone who's stayed up for over a week straight to keep having sex. But dopaminergics, like methamphetamine, which are prescribed for ADHD... whole 'nother story.
A suggestion to the narrator: Increase your video's general volume, and speak more clearly; you know far too much about neurology to have it overlooked by someone who has little patience for poor oral delivery.
That aside, thank your for all this great information.
out of interest if you are subject to high amounts of dopamine and your dopamine receptors die, what are they replaced by? It not like there will be an empty gap or something.
high levels of dopamine usually lead to dopamine receptors being 'downregulated', which means they don't get replaced as quickly as before in the cell membrane. receptors are only active in cell membranes for relatively short time periods, and the rate at which they are replaced is a way for cells to regulate their responsiveness to chemical signals.
@iPlantChannel so what happens next? what if the dopamine receptors get downregulated??? u dont seem to get happy? or u get depressed a lot? or it takes more time to get happy ?
@darshakjust4u yea there's all kinds of psychiatric conditions associated with faulty dopamine signalling. if you do too many addictive drugs for instance you downregulate dopamine receptors and other rewards don't seem as valuable any more. whether it makes you less happy or more depressed or slow to get happy probably varies somewhat from person to person, but all three sound pretty similar.
@iPlantChannel It is said that orgasms release a flood of dopamine. if that is true than having orgasms everyday would be bad for your dopamine levels?
@SiCkMiNDzPRODUCTI0NS well, I guess you have sex addiction but for most people sex is an exceptionally healthy activity :) the orgasm high is short and within good limits
You explain the whole concept in a matter of not even 1,5 minute. For somebody not knowing anything about this stuff, this is a great video to watch and think about.
i thought the new theory was that dopamine motivates you to accomplish a task created by some stimuli ( by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system) but once you receive your reward it diminishes. so wouldn't that mean strictly speaking it has more to do with wanting than pleasure?
dopamine serves many functions in the brain, i try to cover the important cognitive ones in this and other videos, it's certainly at least as involved in wanting as in pleasure. sorry about the slow reply, christmas break.

@iPlantChannel We aren't really in control after all our we? The more you learn about cellular biology, the more it becomes apparent we are just big colonies of molecules, arranged into cells, acting as the flow of electrons and charge would dictate, with no real motivation to speak of. Essentially, what I'm saying is this: everything you know is a lie.

@Johnsen2012 I don't see it that way. I don't know why you chose to use the word 'just' there. We are molecules and cells, sure, our minds are organised electrical discharge, but there's nothing petty or sad about that. What did you think you were before you read about cellular biology? A supernatural spirit? What is this 'real motivation' you think you've lost? Human motivation is an aspect of our reward systems, but learning this doesn't make motivation any less real or important.

@anewera2012 Your comment is akin to saying that we are slaves to our heart and lungs because without them working at a regulated level we would not exist. Dopamine is just a part of the regulatory system of our brain/neurological system. It is the mechanism used by the brain to communicate between portions of the brain--albeit, one in which we may be able to pharmacologically manipulate. Dopamine is not a competing entity. It is part of us just as our large organs are us.

Question.. Why do anti depressants work Serotonin and Norepinephrine though not dopamine???
Are there depressants which focus more on dopamine?
boostinggtirtime 9 months ago
@boostinggtirtime
Dopamine can't cross the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and therefore can't act on the CNS. Some anti-depressants DO work on Dopamine, however, it won't actively treat depression like an SSRI or SNRI will (because it can't access those parts of the brain)

The best way to increase dopamine via diet. 1.Do not eat or drink any refined carbohydrate. [White sugar and white bread] 2. Tea spoon of flax seeds every day, at least 3 pieces of fruit a day, eat a normal good diet.

@gabrielfrancois They do not increase dopamine by 100000 more at all. Pepeprs are good I agree with you. Flax seeds does it by Mega oils that create the natural amount our body needs. Nicotine gives a false amount and then there is a drop off.

@superawesomefilm very good question. the iPlant 101 video describes my long term plan for doing what you talk about. right now the best we can do with our dopamine system is simply to treat it well - coffee and eating right are obvious. remember to take breaks systematically. reward yourself for key accomplishments if you can. keep coming up with new ways to express for yourself why you're working, what the goal state is. and get as much sex, exercise, social life and meditation as possible.

@superawesomefilm you're right, there's a lot of ethical problem with a technology this powerful, but I think it's possible to ensure safe and constructive use, check out the ethics section on the iplant dot eu website for more info on this. I've never heard of a strong legal dopamine supplement, as soon as they become powerful, they become addictive and hence illegal. the point of the iPlant is that you could control the addiction and use it for good.

@superawesomefilm @iPlantChannel ADHD medications - mainly methylphenidate (e.g. Ritalin) and amphetamines (e.g. Adderall) - powerfully stimulate dopamine activity, and shouldn't be addictive in low therapeutic doses. They are legal (thank goodness), but only with a doctor's prescription - which you'd need an ADHD diagnosis for. Maybe something to look into. ADHD can come with hypo- rather than hyperactivity, like in my case.

In science sand particles form a certain pattern when activated by sound. Low frequency creates plain geometrical shapes. The higher frequency is, the more rich and exquisite pattern it takes. The interesting detail is when frequency changes before it becomes a solid shape, it creates chaos..In life- one has to go through an emotional turbulance, before things calm down. By changing your thought process, you change your life (same concept as the sand experiment)..

fawndel 1 year ago
Every living organism has a certain frequency/sound vibration, measured in MHz. Healthy human operates on 68-70 MHz. Anything below 60 means a physical illness. Cancer comes on below 45 MHz, for example. Different frequency has a certain emotion provoking any disorder considering emotion is negative. Raise your vibration by being in the sun, staying positive, calm and kind to everyone. Emotion of love runs on 528 MHz. Negative emotions are very low in frequency which creates physical disorders..

MrBOXA01 1 year ago
@MrBOXA01 dopamine is a precursor of epinephrine but they have different functions in the brain. epinephrine is involved in extreme situations like fight or injury.
dopamine never disapears completely. when it's artificially removed in the lab animals stop eating and drinking. in parkinsons disease most of the dopamine involved in motor control disapears.
we don't know exactly how much dopamine is in the brain but there are about 500.000 neurons producing dopamine and they project widely.
iPlantChannel 1 year ago
@iPlantChannel Well then it would only be temporary because your brain manufacturers it's own dopamine correct?
TheEnglishAtheist1 1 year ago
@TheEnglishAtheist1 what would only be temporary? the artificial removal of dopamine in the lab? what they do is they either administer a dopamine receptor antagonist that prevents dopamine from having an effect, or they administer a toxin that destroys dopamine-producing neurons. the former treatment is temporary, the latter permanent.

Placebo. Dopamine as a supplement won't reach the brain - it's incapable of crossing the BBB. Even if it did get into the brain, the chance of it having a clinically significant effect is very low, since the supplement is doing nothing to modulate the reuptake process.

Indirectly. It affects adenosine reuptake, which may affect dopamine levels to some extent, though the pathways and methods are completely different than benchmark stimulants such as amphetamine.

out of interest if you are subject to high amounts of dopamine and your dopamine receptors die, what are they replaced by? It not like there will be an empty gap or something.
MissMysterics 1 year ago
high levels of dopamine usually lead to dopamine receptors being 'downregulated', which means they don't get replaced as quickly as before in the cell membrane. receptors are only active in cell membranes for relatively short time periods, and the rate at which they are replaced is a way for cells to regulate their responsiveness to chemical signals.

@darshakjust4u yea there's all kinds of psychiatric conditions associated with faulty dopamine signalling. if you do too many addictive drugs for instance you downregulate dopamine receptors and other rewards don't seem as valuable any more. whether it makes you less happy or more depressed or slow to get happy probably varies somewhat from person to person, but all three sound pretty similar.
