In reply to Serotonin and Norepinephrine together , posted by TommyTommy on February 11, 2003, at 22:25:02
Please don't take my word for it, but I read that norepinephrine is a derivative of dopamine and that it is also known as noradrenaline. Norepinephrine and dopamine are often referred to under one name - norepinephrine. It is involved with alertness,assertiveness,aggression,wakefulness. I got this out of notes I'd taken on the book "Natural Prozac". This was a book largely on helping yourself with non-medication changes such as diet, activities, exercise, etc. I know when I took Anafranil which besides serotonin acts on norepinephrine I had a nervous tension that I thought might be due to the norepinephrine effect.
