alpha adrenergic receptors anxiety to John all

Posted by Maniz on December 13, 2000, at 13:17:02

Hi,

Is there a relation between alpha adrenergic receptors and anxiety?.

Today I got up (took some vitamins, 200mg SAM-e I found left and SJW) and went to do some frustrating work (paying bills, waiting in line, etc). It seems each time I have less tolerance. I returned home and felt tired, weak, with no strengh to "face the world". I tend to go to bed when this happens.

I had some food and another vitamin (midday). I was still feeling bad and thinking in takin some xanax. Instead I took some naphazoline. I got a relief (I think it was the naphazoline and not the vitamis, but who knows). As a result, I got out of bed in few minutes.

Is this possible?. Can an alpha 1 agonist relieve anxiety and weekness?.

Sorry to post this soap opera but I am trying to get clues to help me find the right medication.

I would have tried Adrafinil if I could get it from my usual mail order service.

Thanks

Hi Manez.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you take the naphazoline? Eye-Drops?

Thanks.

Hi

Under the tongue. I have experimented this way a few times.

Never tried into eyes. I do not like the idea.

I have tried it as nasal drops from which I got the impession it worked for more than congestion.

I bought the drops today. Maximum strength, a whoping 0.03 % ! Immediately put it in my eyes,
nostrils, and under the tongue. Soon started feeling something 'unusual' but not sure what.
Perhaps the cognition enhanced. Like sitting in front of a computer doing something and at the
same time being able to pay close attention to TV like never before. I would say it's a kind of
a smart drug. Maybe close to what people experience on Vasopressin. I have not tried it, do not
know. Without delay repeated in eyes/nose/tongue again. Waited a little and decided to do it
once more. I overdosed quite a bit, got headache soon and went to bed ...
The bottom line - may be useful for specific events whenever good attention/concentration is
required. And it's being relatively cheap and readily accessable - a good quality too :)
