In reply to dopaminergics and yawning, posted by avid abulia on July 17, 2003, at 16:32:17
Can you explain further? That's intereesting. What are the mechanisms etc?
I take dex and I don't yawn. But the brief time I tried celexa, I yawned a lot.
Isn't yawning the body's way of trying to get more oxygen? So if stims are stimulators of respiration, why does the body need to compensat byu yawning?
> Anything that increase dopamine activity has the potential to make you yawn... part of the testing for antidopaminergic activity in animal tests involves the ability to suppress apomorphine-induced yawning.
