Chipper's *Reward/aversion pleasure/terror Circuit* tools

[Chip (OP)]

Update 13 Aug 2024

My reward/aversion pleasure/terror circuit tools (left>right) amino acids / supplelents:

• Serotonergics [mood, statiety]:

1. ☆Melatonin [circadian rhythm, regular sleep], synthesised by the following amino acid below:

2. ☆L-Tryptophan (maybe 5-HTP instead ?) or the main SEROTONIN precursors.
DONT FUCK WITH ITS REUPTAKE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS FOR as SSRIs are a looming scary problem just waiting for your *gut cellular  turnover* happens in a few more years (95% of Serotonin lives there).

• Dopaminergics [short term arousal, mesolimbic reward driver], Adrenergics [flight or fight] = • the three catecholamines which are built from <:

3a. Metabolic Pathway entry point ONE:
|
☆D,L-Phenyalalanine; the "phenyl" groupl.o your free ride through the BBB or 'Blood Brain Barrier' (abundant in chocolate) metabolises it into:

3z. (⚠️)☆D-Methylamphetamine ☠️; on a crude reward gradient, it is right at the top however, because I'm the 'leading' self appointed ethically correct "'Hedonismologist" [sic.] lol 😆, I'm exempt.
• The most potent abused Phenethylamine derivative, the sympthomimetic:

3.y ☆D-Amphetamine or Vyvance or Lisdexalfetamine precursor,

3.x ☆Ritalin or Methylphenidate or "speed', (⚠️), which is very deleterious if you are not well researched ☆D-Methylamphetamine mixed salts to IRREVERSIBLY [for mant of us more 'damaged indivuduals] short circuit or HIJACK.

My crude reward system gradient, where the prizes are:
> A compliment is around 25-50 units of reward or pleasure
> A hug or pat on the back is around 75 units of reward
> Tobacco/nicotine is around 100 and cessation is around "-100 per hour" or the 'nagging homosexual'
> Two cheese burgers rate around 250-200
> Alcohol about 200
> Cocaine about 300
> Amphetamine about 300-600
> Methamphetamine is about 1200.

3b. Metabolic Pathway entry point TWO:
|
☆L-Tyrosine; to replete the three 👉catecholamines👈 or the key natural sympthomimmetics:
4.1 • Dopamine <reward/motive>
4.2 • Norepinephrine/Noradrenaline <chill/bliss/calm (like after "shock')>
4.3 • Epiphinephrine/Adrenaline <shock!> by the adrenal glands for 'fright/fight/freeze/flee/fawn/defecate'.

5. ☆ Phenylethylamine HCl salts.
