Thr thing abt me is that I want to know exactly how psychiatric medications work. I don't want the simplified version. Dont give me the "I'm talking to the public" answers. I want the specific mechanisms and how exactly it causes its side effects.

#but i dont wanna read the papers lol. i just find it fascinating #g protein coupled receptors my beloved #i got like 5hrs sleep which provided ample time to talk my self into and out of stopping medication bc its been giving me internal #restlessness. muscle weakness. and heart palpations. which the heart thing was freaking me out but i also get them linked with my #cycle and doctors dont seem concerned. i think i figured out why. the abilify is blocking the dopamine receptors that inhibit prolactin #production. which is making my estrogen levels drop which is y i get heart palpitations sometimes. science. ans it makes me feel better #abt staying on the meds. but i got side tracked #trying to understand how abilify is proscribed for major depression #i assume it must hold dopamine at a certain level but idk #part of thr problem is that its really complicated and no one entriely understands how it works #but i took thr meds this morning ;-]#unrelated
