Hi. I haven't got much to say, except that i also read about this endorphines production in PTSD and that one treatment option is an opiate antagonist such as naloxone.
Naloxone removes the emotional numbness from people suffering from PTSC, but perhaps it will aksi make the endorphin withdrawal harder. Perphaps a mixed agonist/antagonist would be a more proper option, i don't know..Now that i think of it, this state has some things in common with the bipolar disorder somehow...
