Hello, I would like to share my experience with drugs. When I was little I smoked weed, took some powders and was in heaven constantly .. so about 5-6 years .. then I graduated, stopped drugs and my life became a complete hell. For many years I tried to stabilize, I was used to feeling strong just taking drugs and now my life was empty, nothing brought me joy. I started reading and watching all kinds of movies and books, so I think I got to know the effects of drugs very well and that's why I would like to share my experience with you. I recently watched a show in which a professor was involved, he had explained it very simply, "there is a certain amount of dopamine in the body (for those who don't know, dopamine is one of the hormones of happiness ... perhaps the most powerful) that a person is accumulated, it is stored and you are given a little, when you have sex, for example, or when you are in a stressful situation. Drugs, however, make this dopamine relax a lot, make you feel in heaven, but at some point it ends and people wonder why the effect is no longer the same. At this point, when the dopamine runs out, and you take drugs, they no longer work, and your mind is in hell .. in depression, etc .. The good news is that a person can regain his dopamine if he gives up from drugs. There are ways for a person to regain dopamine and start experiencing joy again. There is plenty of material on the Internet on how to increase your dopamine levels. Honestly, I wandered ... I wandered 5 years after I stopped everything, I was unhappy for 5 years and I wandered reading books and looking for information until I found out about dopamine. It took me 5 years to get there and start improving my life. That's why I'm sharing it with you and I hope I helped you!

Thanks for the nice topic author. For people, however, this is nonsense. They do not believe in professorships and other such explanations ...
Author: I apologize for the spelling mistakes, but I'm in a bit of a hurry while writing it openly.
Well done. You are an intelligent and strong person.
Thanks for sharing. There are many topics here from people who feel bad and depressed. I've also been struggling with depression for years, sometimes I go out, then I fall into the "hole" again. But your post is as short as a movie series. to do different things, but write about what has helped you! This will be a wonderful gift for many people who are also empty and joyless.
Hello, I am the author .. Google "How to increase dopamine so that we are never sad and depressed?" Everything is explained in detail
I know that what I wrote is valuable, but I think that those who are unhappy and depressed are on a completely different wave and may not see it at all. Still, I hope more people see her and help each other. Many people, when they get into the hole, wander in thought and get into mazes, start to think negatively and in such moments they become even more obsessed. The truth is that one must first focus on raising one's Dopamine levels. From there, your judgment becomes better and you can make adequate decisions for your future. For those who are interested, I will still say what works for me ... - Regular detoxification of the body - Limiting sugar and sweets - Exercise - sports / work (this is the most effective of all things) - Increasing Tyrosine - Nutritional supplements - Ginkgo biloba, Curcumin, L-theanine, Acetyl l-tyrosine - they all increase dopamine - New acquaintances, communication - Music - Creative activities - Drawing, writing, dancing, cooking, car repair, etc. and many more ways These are all tasks, but one should not perform them as robot. The way out of suffering is a creative activity and each person is an individual creator of his destiny. Everyone has the answers inside them, they just need a push sometimes. I hope I pushed you :) it just needs a push sometimes. I hope I pushed you :) it just needs a push sometimes. I hope I pushed you :)
Well, that's basically it. It is not in vain that these substances are banned, there is a reason. You may have some momentary pleasure from them, but in general they are expensive. This is very true of dopamine, and I've always wondered where people justify that, for example, cocaine didn't lead to addiction or controlled drug use didn't hurt. Well, cocaine may not be as addictive on a physical level as other drugs, but it pumps all the dopamine out of your brain and then you're like a rag. Even if you stop being depressed forever, these dopamine levels, which are already very low, cannot be restored. But most people do not think in the long run, but how to enjoy the party, and then it does not matter. It is similar with alcohol, it has been proven that alcohol even has a beneficial effect on depressed and low-energy people. Alcohol has a stimulating effect while drinking it and even at first glance makes you feel very good. But he is a depressant, that is, when his action passes, he has drained all the energy from you and you are like a rag. Then, in order for your mood or, more precisely, energy to come, you drink again, but this drinking squeezes everything out of you again, until there is nothing to squeeze out, and even huge quantities no longer work as before. So drop all stimulants, because for a momentary pleasure you pay with long-term crises, you better find natural sources to increase energy and mood and you will not have any problems. but this drinking still squeezes everything out of you until there is nothing to squeeze out, and even huge amounts no longer work for you as they used to.

To number 9 ... Dopamine levels can be restored under any circumstances! You just start and restore them, the point is that it is difficult to give up the habit and it depends on the person himself, how motivated he is, how disciplined he is and how much he has in his head.
The levels of these so-called neurotransmitters are not exhausted. The mechanism of their release is simply changing, ie more serious stimulation is needed in order to release normal levels. The main neurotransmitters are serotonin and dopamine. Stimulants cause mainly serotonin release, and opiates - dopamine. From there come the different types of addiction - mental and physical. The mechanism for dealing with the two dependencies is different. Mental dependence is also severe and not to be underestimated, so giving up cocaine can become a depressing hell. Whoever wants to get rid of it just stops shaking. A year later he is a new person and his brain is working normally.
Number 11, it is obvious that you are a literate person, but I heard this about the depletion of dopamine from Dr. Yulian Karadzhov, who is a biochemist and drug specialist at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. And this about stopping and after 1 year you are fine is somewhat true, but also a very superficial reasoning. It depends on what you do in this 1 year. Also, the recovery time depends on how much you managed to damage your brain and how long you took. One of my best friends got so drunk one day that he still talks to himself for more than a year, but I don't know how long he will need to recover and whether he will succeed in this life at all. So dear readers, think when you read some commentary. The author
My friend stopped taking drugs suddenly 3 years ago. But then he started to increase alcohol and caffeine, maybe through this addiction he doesn't go back to drugs. When we started going out, he decided that he would stop drinking, afraid that he would damage his lungs. Somehow a thought was planted in him that he would get cirrhosis and die if he continued drinking. He stopped drinking, but then the crises and panic attacks began. We went to a psychiatrist and prescribed him treatment with psychotropic drugs, which is again a drug and in general it is a great pain to watch him spin in a vicious circle - from addiction to addiction. according to him, he was shaking with quality drugs. As he reads the stories of others who have used he hears no voices, he doesn't talk to himself, he doesn't have any consequences. Do they have any chance to heal completely?
Until the 13th .. I'm the author .. Well bro, and my story is not much different. I took everything (without heroin) for 5-6 years. But to stop them you need balls and clench your teeth. Hell I've been through, not many people can understand it, but now, 5 years later, I'm great, I'm alive, I'm healthy and I'm fighting for my dreams. It was worth the wait. Everything is at will. If he is mentally weak and does not have a strong spirit, then he will disappear. This is the fate of 90% of drug addicts. When I look at my former drug addict friends ... during those 5 years in which I cleared myself, they went on and on and at the moment they look like zombies. And there is no trace of their brain cells. Now I am happy for the choice I made 5 years ago.
To the author: I keep saying that dopamine and serotonin cannot be depleted by the human body. This means that basic physiological processes in the body will not be able to take place and you die. Read a little more about the functions of neurotransmitters in the brain. I share my experience of how I dealt with my addiction. If you think the situation is hopeless and every 16-year-old hooked on candy is doomed to schizophrenia - ok. It is easier for me to believe that the only way is to show will and not touch anything. This one year is an exemplary period in which, purely physiologically, your brain will resume its normal processes. I'm not talking about completely crazy chemistry in the garage. These things can't even be called drugs. As soon as you feel more competent, ignore my comments and discuss with others.
Meditation is the best way to stabilize your hormones. And I know of cases where heroin addicts have been cured by meditation. Well with health
The author writes about something he has no idea about. I understand that it aims to make young people think, but the approach is wrong.
