How does it work, e.g. “ to fall in love”<br />
Know the symptoms:<br />
(1)The initial giddiness when we're first falling in love<br />
includes a racing heart, flushed skin <strong>and</strong> sweaty palms.<br />
This seems to be due to the dopamine,<br />
norepinephrine & phenylethylamine release.<br />
(a)Dopamine is thought to be the "pleasure chemical,"<br />
producing a feeling <strong>of</strong> bliss<br />
(b) Norepinephrine = adrenalin is causing the racing<br />
heart & excitement<br />
(c) Phenylethylamine functions as a neuromodulator in<br />
the mammalian central nervous system. There are<br />
many compounds derived from phenethylamine that<br />
include stimulants, psychedelics, <strong>and</strong> entactogens, as<br />
well as anorectics, bronchodilators, decongestants, <strong>and</strong><br />
antidepressants, among others. Phenethylamine is<br />
soluble in water, ethanol, <strong>and</strong> ether. Similar to other<br />
low-molecular-weight amines, it has a fishy odor.
