OK, for the sake of argument, let's assume that norepinephrine levels are normal and under control, as well as testosterone levels and thyroid condition. What other neurotransmitter status could produce or contribute to the following symptoms:
Severe panic attack (not mere anxiety, but the really acute attacks that come out of nowhere and typically have people scrambling for the ER.):
1. high\low dopamine 2. high\low serotonin 3. high\low GABA 4. (some other receptor status)
melancholic-like depression symptoms (esp. anhedonia, loss of interest in activities):
1. high\low dopamine 2. high\low serotonin 3. high\low GABA 4. (some other receptor status)
Gradual loss of libido (let's say over a period of six months.):
1. high\low dopamine 2. high\low serotonin 3. high\low GABA 4. (some other receptor status)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
