    Brain function, im worried about meds

    i think a big part of thinking is feelings, feelings drive thought, i don't mean happy sad angry, if someone says something and you don't feel what they said then you don't truly understand it, how have ssri's affected your feelings, feelings of understanding, when you know without words, if you...

    Brain function, im worried about meds

    ill do that, but i still believe in intelligence no matter what it may be, even if intelligence is just unintentional thoughts that pop into one's head, i call it awareness in the second paragraph of my first post, that's really how i think of it now

    Brain function, im worried about meds

    thanks you answered my questions, one other though, ssri's inhibit reuptake of serotonin, reuptake occurs after the serotonin has left the tranmitting cell, so wouldn't that just leave it bouncinh around the synapse causing like false signals to be passed

    Herbal Supplements to enhance Brain functions

    I would think that the placebo effect would only occur while in a conscious state, but anyway. You want vivid or more memorable dreams, try taking wellbutrin, I mean don't seriously try it, but the dreams are so real or memorable that they are like living, they are not realistic though, I could...

    Brain function, im worried about meds

    I took this from another board I posted on. Noone could really answer much of it. Please no debate about what intelligence is. I couldn't find a neuroscience message board, but I have some questions, so I'm hoping someone can answer them here. What exactly makes one intelligent. Is it the...
