In reply to RESERPINE WITHDRAWAL EUPHORIA, posted by hgi698 on July 1, 2006, at 18:11:44
> Ok i was thinking about taking reserpine for about 4 weeks. Reserpine depletes dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin temporarily. So in response my brain should upregulate those receptors. Then I plan on taking a dopaminergic drug when i am withdrawing from the resperine (like adderall). Will this cause a rapid improvement in depression? Maybe it won't last, but it seems like a surefire way feel good. All you have to do is feel crappy for the four weeks on resperine. Any thoughts?
I would be concerned that pinging the receptors back and forward like that could put you at risk of developing bipolar disorder. Not that I know that much about it; it's just my gut reaction.
