Question by Ryan: How come after re-dosing, amphetamines lose the euphoric effect?
So lets say some one takes some adderal and feel really good, after a few hours the euphoria fades so you take more. But the second dose really does not stimulate the mind, causing euphoria, only the body.

Best answer:

Answer by Censure 455
The euphoria comes from the release of dopamine in the brain which binds to dopaminergic receptors causing the feeling of euphoria. However as more dopamine is released into the brain the dopaminergic receptors begin to be either binded already or gain resistance to the dopamine and the resulting pathway is not activated. This means that even if you take larger doses of dopamine (adderall) you won’t feel its effects as greatly because the brain requires time to decrease the tolerance levels of the receptors for the effects to be felt.    Read more...

Question by AnhKhanh: How do I lose weight when my main food source is rice?
I was raised in Vietnam, and i have a sort of “addiction” to rice, even if im full 1 day, i just have to have a small bowl of rice each day. I noticed that rice goes through my body REALLY slowly, and since i have a slow metabolism ( curse my genes) i don’t know how I can lose weight. I usually eat rice for lunch and dinner.

Question by Jack: why does it hurt after, you lose the feelings of love for someone?
I think I was in love with someone. I think so because whenever I thought of this one person I would feel happy and would always smile and just get a really good feeling about life whenever I would think of this one person. I would quite often just randomly at times of the day just think of this person and I would feel so happy and feel so great. I never met this person just only once. All of everything else is just what was built from text messages and talking on fb. I am not sure if it is possible to fall in love with someone from never being around them. But it happened to me.
So anyway there came the day when I had to stop loving this person cause I felt like I was losing control of myself. i wasn’t eating, sleeping, and just had these mood swings. I would feel so happy when I would talk with them but then after ward I felt so sad and alone. I was starting to think that I was becoming addicted to how she would make me feel so happy. Which was scary… Idk. But I had to stop thinking about her so much and all the rest. It hurt so much and now I feel like I am so dead inside. I felt so alive before but now everything seems so dull.
I know you will tell me to move on. I’ve been told this before. But I am just so confused and just wish that I could have that feeling I had before. The happiness. Can love be an addiction?
I just need answers and thought maybe anyone on here could offer some advice.    Read more...
