AMD,
Never mind this little hypothesis of mine below. I just read your previous post and noticed that you added the Zyprexa *after* using the cocaine. I guess I just misinterpreted your post. Sorry about that.

> I do wonder, however, if your cocaine use might have been an unintentional attempt to combat the effects of the Zyprexa. Zyprexa lowers dopamine levels by blocking the D1 and D2 receptors, and cocaine use produces a rapid increase in dopamine (I believe that this is caused primarily by a strong inhibition of the dopamine transporter). I'm not trying to say that you should use more cocaine, but I'm just wondering if you were unintentionally trying to correct a Zyprexa-induced dopamine deficit.
