  2. Dopamine dysregulation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_dysregulation...

    Dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) is a dysfunction of the reward system observed in some individuals taking dopaminergic medications for an extended length of time. It is characterized by severely disinhibited patterns of behavior, [1] leading to problems such as addiction to the offending medication, gambling addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, [2] along with a general orientation ...

  3. Sensory overload - Wikipedia

    One way is to participate in occupational therapy; however, there are many ways for people with symptoms to reduce it themselves. Being able to identify one's own triggers of sensory overload can help reduce, eliminate, or avoid them. [31] Most often the quickest way to ease sensory overload symptoms is to remove oneself from the situation.

  4. Adrenergic storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_storm

    Symptoms caused by excessive adrenergic signalling can occur alongside those of serotonergic signalling. One example would be: overdose of drug(s) influencing multiple targets including serotonin, and adrenergic systems, with concurrent MAOI use). Abnormal echocardiograms, or chest pain are indicative of adrenergic crisis. [23]

  5. Central nervous system fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Nervous_System_Fatigue

    In the brain, serotonin is a neurotransmitter and regulates arousal, behavior, sleep, and mood, among other things. [9] During prolonged exercise where central nervous system fatigue is present, serotonin levels in the brain are higher than normal physiological conditions; these higher levels can increase perceptions of effort and peripheral muscle fatigue. [9]

  6. Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_sympathetic...

    Beta-blockers are helpful in preventing the occurrence of 'sympathetic storms'. Other drugs that have been used and have in some cases been helpful are dopamine agonists, other various opiates, benzodiazepines, clonidine, and baclofen. [10] Chlorpromazine and haloperidol, both dopamine antagonists, in some cases have worsened PSH symptoms. [3]

  7. Catatonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catatonia

    Dopamine can increase or decrease the activity of the area of the brain it acts on depending on where in the brain it is. Dopamine is lower than normal in people with catatonia, which is thought to cause many of the motor symptoms, because dopamine is the main neurotransmitter which activates the parts of the brain responsible for movement.

  8. Dopaminergic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopaminergic

    The excess dopamine resulting from inhibition of the dopamine β-hydroxylase enzyme increases unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, higher blood pressure, and restlessness. Disulfiram is not an anticraving agent, because it does not decrease craving for drugs. Instead, positive punishment from its unpleasant effects deters drug consumption. [23]

  9. Dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_transporter...

    Dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome (DTDS), also known as infantile parkinsonism-dystonia, is a rare movement disorder that causes progressively worsening dystonia and parkinsonism. It is the first known inherited dopamine 'transportophathy.' [ 1 ]
