Excessive Creation of Norepinephrine, Epinephrine, Oxcytocin/Prolactin Harmful?
Question by Adamimal: Excessive creation of Norepinephrine, Epinephrine, Oxcytocin/Prolactin harmful?
If one were to raise the levels of these chemicals in the body to peak points several times a day, over the course of several years, would it ultimately have a negative effect on one’s endocrine system? Also, could it possibly lead to the body’s “addiction” to these chemicals?

Well, I’m not sure if increased levels of NE and 5-HT would have an effect on the endocrine system, but there is a possibility that Oxytocin might cause a negative effect.
No, there really hasn’t been a link with addiction and NE/5-HT levels; that’s why SSRIs aren’t addictive.
