neurotransmitters for addiction therapy
The American Society of Addiction Medicine says one of the biggest reasons people fail in addiction is…
“Addiction is not about drugs, it’s about brains. It is not the substances a person uses that make them an addict; it is not even the quantity or frequency of use. Addiction is about what happens in a person’s brain when they are exposed to rewarding substances or rewarding behaviors, and it is more about reward circuitry in the brain than it is about the external chemicals or behavior that “turn on” that reward circuitry.”
nuerotransmittersIf you’ve used opiates for longer than 2-4 weeks, then you’re probably lacking in natural “feel good” brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
Your brain has four primary neurotransmitters and each plays a critical and different role in your health and how you feel.
The four primary neurotransmitters are dopamine, serotonin, GABA, acetylcholine.
So what do they do for you?
Serotonin regulates sleep and appetite.
Dopamine is the feel good chemical, plays an important role in mood, energy, attitude, motivation.
GABA acts as your calming neurotransmitter, helping you relax.
Acetylcholine for processing information and memory.
Endorphins are feel good chemicals our bodies release under extreme pain. They are considered the bodies own opiates.
When opioids, heroin and other prescription pain relievers are abused your brain stops producing these neurotransmitters.
And here’s why:
Opiates release 2 to 10 times the amount of dopamine that natural rewards do.
Opioid Abuse Effect on Dopamine
Opioid Abuse Effects on Dopamine In Brain
What do you do if the volume on the stereo is too loud? You turn it down, right? Well our brain does that same thing when it adjusts to the overwhelming surges of dopamine (and other neurotransmitters) sent from abusing drugs.
To compensate for these surges your brain begins to automatically produce much less natural dopamine and other key neurotransmitters, which in turn can cause a myriad of opioid withdrawal symptoms and health problems.
When you stop using drugs your brain’s naturally occurring neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA) are FAR below normal healthy levels.
Why?
Because opioids and all drugs pretty much destroy your body and brain’s production of it’s own natural feel good chemicals.
This creates a neurotransmitter imbalance or deficiency and depending on the deficiency it can cause a wide range of narcotic withdrawal symptoms and health problems.
The Neurotransmitter Imbalances and Chemical Deficiencies Caused by Heroin and Prescription Opioid Pain Reliever Addiction
DecreasedMetabolismWhen your brain’s neurotransmitters are imbalanced, you may feel flat, lifeless, depressed, nervous, anxious, queasy, stressed and unable to enjoy things that use to bring you pleasure in life.
Behavior like this is a common sign of a neurotransmitter deficiency or imbalance. And this deficiency often appears during and after opioid addiction.
The longer you’ve used drugs, the greater the imbalance or deficiency may be.
Dopamine deficiencies can cause fatigue, memory lose, depression, addiction, personality disorders, chronic fatigue, panic.
Serotonin deficiencies can cause constipation, nausea, blues, insomnia, addiction, depression, learning disabilities, thought confusion.
Acetycholine deficiencies can cause anxiety, stress, learning difficulties, agitation, mood swings, memory lapses, attention problems, diminished comprehension.
GABA deficiencies can cause insomnia, sleep disorders, muscle pain, muscle tension, stomach cramps, high anxiety, inability to think clearly, headache, hypertension.
Learning the hard way, costly mistakes taught me that you don’t have to suffer from this imbalance forever, because there are natural ways to raise depleted resources and nutritional deficiencies.
Natural Supplements that Can Help Boost Production of Key Neurotransmitters and Brain Chemicals
One of the easiest ways to increase brain chemicals is to take natural supplements. Because many natural ingredients have been researched and tested and proven effective and naturally raising production of brain chemicals.
st-johns-wort-for-depressionThere are natural ingredients that have shown in study after study to boost biochemicals, resulting in narcotic withdrawal symptom relief.
Easy to find vitamins and supplements are an excellent way to ensure a steady supply of nutrients essential to the production of neurotransmitters.
Supplements that Boost Serotonin
Serotonin effects your sleep, body temperature, sexual behavior and your pain sensations. It’s also a contributor in feelings like happiness and well-being.
5-HTP (hydroxyryptopan) – 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin and helps your brain manufacture more serotonin. It is also the precursor for melatonin, the hormone involved in sleep patterns of the human body.
It works in the way that it helps the body to produce serotonin. 5-HTP is effectively used today for many ailments including weight loss, treating depression, fibromyalgia, migraines and it is said that it helps in treating Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, down syndrome, alcoholism, opiate withdrawal, PMS and menopausal symptoms and many other symptoms we face.
It’s thought to improve mood, help you sleep, and instill feelings of relaxation and calmness.
St. Johns Wort – An anti-depressant herb that is commonly used for its positive neurological effects on mood and attitude.
Supplements that Boost DopamineL-Theanine for Rest and Relaxation
Dopamine boosting supplements are very important after addiction. Because these levels are directly impacted by prolonged opiated abuse.
Mucuna Pruriens (extract) – A deficiency of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain can result in depression, sadness, lack of focus and low motivation. Fortunately if these levels are low, mucuna pruriens can help rebuild depleted neurotransmitters norepinephrine and boost dopamine. This improves mood and makes more chemical messengers that act in the brain to produce mental alertness and energy. Mucuna Pruriens can rapidly replenish depleted dopamine stores.
Supplements that Boost GABA
GABA supplements can calm the brain and keep you on even keel. They also reduce stress, ease anxiety and promote sleep.
GABA – Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid, or GABA is an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain – in the central nervous system. As a supplement GABA is commercially sold as a natural tranquilizer for the neurotransmitter effects. In other words, GABA is used to help people relax, calm down, relieve anxiety and sleep.
Glutamine – Helps decrease symptoms of anxiety, relieve muscle spasms, muscle tension
Melatonin – Controls sleep functions and awake sleep cycles.
B-Complex Vitamins – Produces a calming, relaxing effect by activating GABA and cyclic adenosine monophosphate.
Supplements that Boost Acetycholine
Acetycholine is responsible for thinking functions, such as comprehension of language, intelligence, and attention.
Phosphatidylserine – An impressive volume of research shows that phosphatidylserine, another modified amino acid, benefits acetylcholine deficiency. Recommended for memory disorders and depression.
N-acetyl-cysteine – an amino acid that helps detoxify many chemicals and is a strong antioxidant.
Huperzine-A – Preserves acetylcholine, which helps neurons process memory without losing speed.

Natural Ways to Boost Endorphin Levels At-Home
Ways to Release “Feel Good” Brain Chemicals At-Home
MUSIC – Music is powerful and can move you emotionally. When you’re coming off opiates you’re body probably feels like it’s thawing out. Your bodies probably more sensitive to touch and sound. Good music can absolutely help your mood and get those brain chemicals working again. Try and listen to mostly upbeat music.
MEDITATION – Meditation helps the nervous system operate at its best; when done properly this produces optimum levels of serotonin and endorphins.
LAUGHTER – Watch a good comedy movie or have a laugh with friends to release endorphins.
SUNLIGHT – bright light increases the production of Serotonin in the body. Spending time in the sunlight can absolutely improve your mood and also soothe muscle aches. Tanning beds can be helpful if no sun is shinning.
SEX – is a powerful producer of endorphins. A long session can dramatically increase endorphins. When you’re in withdrawal sex can be a very nice escape.
ACUPUNCTURE – acupuncture increases circulation and stimulates the release of endorphins. If you haven’t looked into acupuncture while in withdrawal – you might want to try it out, it can be VERY helpful during healing.
MASSAGE – stimulates the release of endorphins. Massaging your own scalp and shower massager’s can provide an affordable alternative to expensive treatments. Massage therapy can feel wonderful.
HERBS/SUPPLEMENTS – St John’s Wort, 5-HTP and L Tyrosine all can increase serotonin, dopamine and in the brain. Thus easing withdrawal symptoms and shortening withdrawal duration.
EXERCISE – is one of the best natural ways to produce both serotonin, dopamine and endorphins. Vigorous exercise is best because the stronger the physical demand you place on your body, the greater the release of endorphins. You should try weight training and high and low intensity exercises. Work out as long as you can.
What Foods to Eat to Increase Neurotransmitter Production in the Brain
You can replenish neurotransmitters in the brain by eating the right foods.
Eat carbohydrate rich meals and lots of vegetables. Healthy choices include whole grain breads, whole grain pasta, rice, brocolli, spinach lettuce, etc. Eating fat processed foods will do the opposite. Eat better and improve how you feel. (now to contradict myself)
Eat sweet foods like chocolate (sparingly), only a couple squares of good quality chocolate with a high percentage of Cocoa in it can raise these chemicals.
Serotonin is naturally occurring in foods like pineapples, bananas, nuts and plums.
Get an adequate supply of B vitamins, folic acid and vitamin C because these vitamins play a role in transmitting brain chemicals.
Spicy foods like Chile’s, peppers and jalapenos. The heat triggers the release of endorphins, so the spicier the better.
Weight bearing activity builds dopamine and releases endorphins. Try lifting weights or doing a difficult workout, many begin to feel very good and amped up.

Great article with really direct information. Thank you for sharing this as I think it is so very beneficial...not just for newer folks, but for all folks. Thanks lady for going out of your way. You rock Vic! xoxo
Thanks jug. I mostly liked it because of what it said about the drug use and how it is all about the Brain. It did have picks of the brain in different areas that really showed some good stuff but it did not come up. Darn!! I told my Dr a while back that I felt like my Brain Chems just are not right or balanced right. She asked if I started doing drugs or drinking at a young age. I like this because it shows natural ways. It also showed or talked about the norepinephrine, like I mention alot out here in these post.

Dear Vic, thanks so much for sharing this! I really appreciate so much! I am going to get this information to some people who need it.
I have also read that some people are naturally deficient in these chemicals in the brain and that's why they become addicted so quickly. It is confusing, like the chicken or the egg. Did the deficiency come first or the addiction? Some people can take a pain pill, never touch it again while others can't stop.
A person I know said the first time they tried a percocette it was as if they had come home.
Thank you again, Dee

This was amazing to read. After I read it, I took a short break from my computer and rubbed my shoulders a bit, and my head actually feels a little better. So so strange and amazing that this can help a little. And although I don't feel much like the sex thing right now, maybe if I try it, i'll get into it.
I had put in a few more like this.
I really like "Addiction and the Pleasures Pathway, Beyond Willpower"
Also, put in a small piece regarding the "Nature of Addiction". There are TONS of info out here and Videos to watch. They have come a long ways since I was young.
Dee..They think that we are born with LOW Dopamine's and this is why we can become so Addicted. We will see as they learn more & more. This is why they think they can test ppl for this now days before they drink or do drugs. Not all has this low gene. We will see how much more they discover in the future. Hugs!!

It's a good article but i still have to tell myself i am an addict due to my behavior. If i sit back and think oh, it is something other than addiction(such as low dopamine) all that will do to my sick and twisted head is play games with me. I still cant say i have a disease as that opens the door up for me too. I have to take 100% accountability for my actions and my addiction. It still comes down to dealing with our demons and why we used to begin with. They could of taken every test available to man and i still would of jumped in. Please understand this only MY thinking. I get all of the other stuff, i really do but i also understand my head now and that is what matters.
Thank you again Vic, interesting article. This was something a doctor once told me, that narcotics long term, change your brain. It takes a while to get it back.
Sarah I agree with you. I was just thinking it might help people with cravings if they could raise their brain chemical levels.
Like the Dopamine.
I had read, for just me, that the interferon I was on could have lowered my dopamine levels causing me some problems with apathy, depression, etc. There are many of us suffering years later and I am always looking for help with my brain chemicals.
Thanks everyone!
