Quebec schools could soon be instructed to keep epinephrine injectors, or EpiPens, on hand for emergency use. The recommendation is part of school-based care guidelines currently being developed by Quebec's education and health ministries, The Canadian Press has learned. Part of the guide will deal with distributing and administering medications, such as Epipens, in emergencies. Some schools already keep Epipens on site, but it's the legal responsibility of students with allergies to bring their own to school.

Julius Axelrod was born on May 30, 1912. An American biochemist, he won a share of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1970 along with Bernard Katz and Ulf von Euler, for his work on the release and reuptake of catecholamine neurotransmitters, a class of chemicals in the brain that include epinephrine, norepinephrine, and, as was later discovered, dopamine. This laid the groundwork for the antidepressants we have today. Axelrod also made major contributions to the understanding of the pineal gland and how it is regulated during the sleep-wake cycle.

How dopamine actually works.

Intro.

I’ve noticed there is a lot of misunderstood information about dopamine, a lot of people talk about dopamine and say very inaccurate information, and I've found many videos that talk about a “dopamine detox” that give good recommendations overall but fail to explain how dopamine really works. The term “dopamine detox” isn’t accurate. I’ll try to explain how dopamine works and share a video at the end that explains it better (long video, though).

I’ll talk about how dopamine works as a neuromodulator, because it also works in the body as a hormone (I won’t talk about differences or any complicated stuff). I highly suggest listening to the video I’m sharing from Andrew Huberman, top notch and easy to understand information from scientists.

Something to keep in mind is that consistency is key in order to change habits and make this information more useful in practice. Also, these are all facts that have been studied in humans and animals for a long time, this post is not based on opinions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note.

*Dopamine doesn’t work alone, other neurotransmitters are released together with it (such as glutamate and epinephrine, usually known as “adrenaline”), I won’t talk about those other neurotransmitters, but I wanted to make a note that dopamine and other neurotransmitters or neuromodulators aren’t that simple and don’t just work by themselves.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation.

Dopamine is mostly related to:

-reward

-motivation

-attention

-alertness

Dopamine kinda gives us motivation and pleasure to keep it simple, it’s part of a natural “reward system” that we all have, all mammals have this reward system.

We all have a “baseline” of dopamine, some people have a higher baseline, some lower, you can think about it like there is a “normal” level of dopamine we usually have.

When we get our level or baseline of dopamine too high after engaging in many dopamine releasing activities, our baseline will drop and go really low, a lot lower than usual, and for it to go back to normal it can take from hours to days. If our dopamine level is low, we will feel less energetic and will be less motivated to do anything because our levels will be very low.

That’s the reason engaging in too many dopamine-releasing activities often is a bad idea. There are many activities that will make us release a lot of dopamine, such as, eating chocolate, eating sugar, eating junk (or delicious) food, consuming drugs, using social networks, etc. These activities will make us release a lot of dopamine. Sure, it’s fine to do them a little, but doing any of those a lot will drain out our energy and we won’t feel motivated to do anything, we won’t even have energy to pay attention to things like movies or series.

There are other addictions that make us release a lot of dopamine that should be avoided such as playing videogames for many hours daily or like watching a bunch of porn very often. Other activities that can be avoided (at least sometimes) to keep a good level of dopamine is for example, drinking an energy drink and listening to your favorite music loudly when exercising. Exercising is an activity that will make you release dopamine, if it’s done daily together with those stimulants, you’ll be increasing your levels of dopamine too much temporarily, and then they will be lower for some time (hours or days depending).

Other activities such as having sex that will increase your dopamine temporarily, but unless you’re addicted, there won’t be any problem at all. Part of the key thing here is recognizing and having a better management of addictions.

A key thing to understand dopamine, in the example of social media and casinos, what they do to keep you engaged is making you have an intermittent release of dopamine, every once in a while when you’re browsing social media, you see a post or news that make you release a bunch of dopamine, if you keep using social media for long, you’ll be exhausting yourself for this reason and you won’t feel motivated to do other activities, perhaps you’ll still have some motivation, but not as much as you could have (if you’re not a huge addict), because your baseline level of dopamine will be a lot lower than it could be. Casinos do the same, they give you a bait every once in a while that gives you a dopamine release which is addictive, but the house always wins.

Another example of this is, a person who you’re attracted to sends you text messages occasionally, but doesn’t really reply to your messages often, this will give you a big dopamine release every time that person messages you, and it will keep you hooked to that person (beware of people who do this, they’re not that interested, ha).

The recommendation here would be not to engage in too many dopamine releasing activities during the day. This will help save energy that will result in motivation to do useful things such as work, exercise, or hobbies. Things that require effort will be too hard to do if we’re for example using social networks too often.

When we’re expecting something to happen, we will be releasing dopamine and feel motivated to pursue it. But if we’ve spent all our dopamine earlier, we won’t even be motivated to pursue things we want to happen, for example, a guy who’s single and wants to have a girlfriend, if he’s spent all his day engaging in dopamine releasing activities like playing videogames and watching many porn videos, it’s likely he won’t do anything to look for a partner because he’s completely unmotivated to do it, his baseline levels of dopamine are really low and will continue to be so if he doesn’t change his habits.

It’s also a terrible idea to reward yourself every time you do an activity that requires effort, this will mess with our dopamine system and lead to zero motivation if the reward doesn’t exist (for example eating chocolate and/ or drinking alcohol every day after work). The effort and results in the work you do will release the necessary dopamine and will make you feel better overtime if dopamine releasing activities are more controlled (like putting the cellphone in a drawer in silence while working and 30 minutes before sleeping). Even if your job is boring, if you remove a lot of distractions (like social media), concentrate more on it and do it well, it will feel a lot more satisfactory and you’ll even feel more energetic for the rest of the day (you should be taking the necessary breaks during your shift, just working for hours straight like a robot will exhaust anyone).

*Cold water is good for generating dopamine overtime occasionally (like shutting down the hot water at the end of a shower or getting into a tub with cold water), not daily because you’ll get used to it and then it won’t help. It’s not really known why but getting into cold water sometimes is good for maintaining good levels of dopamine.

Caffeine in general is also a good regulator of dopamine (1-2 cups is best, too much of anything is a bad idea).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion.

Overall, I believe we all have a big addiction to our cellphones, media, and/ or drugs (such as alcohol). The first step to work on this problem is to understand and then recognize the issue, being honest to ourselves is key because we are very contradictory beings and our beliefs often blind us to facts, and we often keep engaging in self-damaging activities. Over and out.

23/100.

Last time I posted about my pending cataract surgery, I had a lot of loose ends to tie up still. A lot has happened this week:

I met with an anesthesiologist and cleared up the concerns about the reaction I had to a local anesthetic in the past. (If you want to know more about this, look up "reaction to epinephrine in local anesthetic" or "adrenaline rush dental anesthetic" or something along those lines. Basically, local anesthetic often contains epinephrine, the ingredient in EpiPens that gives a jolt of adrenaline for people experiencing an allergic reaction. Some people, like me, have a bad reaction to the epinephrine.)

I also had my pre-op admissions appointment with a nurse; got my instructions for pre- and post-surgery and filled out all the paperwork

I got the prescription eye drops (four different types!) that I will need pre- and post-surgery, as well as the schedule for when to administer which ones.

I saw my optometrist in order to renew my prescription for my contact lenses. She gave me a lens and I still have one left from before, so I have two to tide me over post-surgery. (The cataract surgery is only for one eye for now, so only one eye will have vision corrected. Once vision is corrected in that one eye, I will no longer be able to wear glasses. I will need to wear a contact lens to correct the vision in the other eye. Eventually I will have to have surgery on the other eye also, as that eye is beginning to develop cataracts now too.)

I was given a time for my surgery and confirmed with my friend that she could pick me up post-surgery.

I arranged for someone to walk the dog in my care the day of surgery as well as the day after.

There were also some unexpected things that came up. Namely, the eye surgeon wanted to re-do some eye measurements that I had done previously at another eye clinic. She was in contact with the other clinic and got the numbers from them but she said there was some "discrepancy" so she wanted to re-do them. The only thing is, I had to pay for these tests again. It cost me $400 the first time, now I had to cough up another $400. I was pretty upset about this. But this was on Tuesday this week and my surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. I don't want to hum and haa about it and miss my surgery. So, fine, measure twice cut once, right? Whatever. Paid the $400 and got re-measured the next day, on Wednesday.

On Thursday, got a call from the clinic that the doc had crunched the numbers and turns out I have very slight astigmatism in both eyes. And so there are two lenses available that are suitable for me. Great. This is the exact same result the previous clinic got. They gave me the option of those same two lenses and I chose the cheaper of the two that time. (It costs about $200 for one lens.)

So whatever. At least I'm doubly sure they got it right. Chose my lens. All my other ducks are in a row. The only thing left to do now is show up for surgery next Tuesday. It's Thursday at this point. Feeling good about all the puzzle pieces falling into place.

Friday I get a call from the clinic that the lens I chose doesn't come in my prescription (I'm not sure if she meant it's out of stock or they don't manufacture it at all). Then there's the issue of the astigmatism. Neither option corrects for astigmatism. I pointed out that I've worn contact lenses that don't correct for astigmatism for 35 years and it's been fine. So ok, maybe that part is not an issue. But they still don't have the right power I need so I need to choose a different lens. Two options again, I chose one. We are good to go.

Friday afternoon clinic calls me again. Doctor has postponed surgery due to the lack of available lenses and wants me to come in on Monday to discuss lens options. Aaaargghhh! 😭 (I think there were some things lost in translation between the doctor and the coordinator, and the coordinator and me. I had questions I don't think the coordinator was really able to answer. So I think a conversation directly with the doctor about the lens options is probably in my best interest. Still sucks though.)

Cancelled my friend. Cancelled the dog-walker. Booked a Monday appointment. Uggghh, I was so close to getting this done 😭

How to administer intramuscular epinephrine:

Remove the EpiPen from its clear carrier. Flip open the yellow cap of the tube and slide the device out.

Hold the device in your fist with the orange tip pointing down. You can remember this by using the saying “Blue to the sky, orange to the thigh.”

Remove the blue safety release. Using your opposite hand, pull straight up, avoiding bending or twisting the device.

Place the orange tip on the thigh. Next, aim for the middle of the outer thigh, holding it at a right angle to the thigh.

Swing the pen back about 6 inches and firmly push it against the thigh. The orange tip contains the needle, and it should click when the injection has started.

Hold firmly in place for 3 seconds. Hold the needle still in the muscle while counting slowly for 3 seconds.

Remove the EpiPen from the thigh. Once removed, the orange tip should cover the needle, but don’t reuse the device if it doesn’t.

Massage the injection site. Rub the area around the injection site for 10 seconds.

Always remember your six rights of medication administration!

How to sleep well and how to stay awake longer when awake

Our capacity for concentration, alertness, and emotional stability is reset by sleep. Consequently, it is of utmost significance.

When we are awake, what we do affects how quickly we fall asleep, whether we stay asleep or not, and how we feel when we get up the next day. Therefore, obtaining a truly good night's sleep every night is crucial.

Our neurological system and body produce more adenosine the more time we spend being awake. It induces something like a sleep urge or a hunger. Adenosine keeps progressively increasing the longer we have been awake, which is why we feel drowsy.

Adenosine is similar to caffeine. Caffeine suppresses the receptor for sleepiness when it is consumed because it binds to the adenosine receptor. Adenosine will attach to that one receptor once the caffeine wears off, causing a crash and increased fatigue (tiredness).

While caffeine can be beneficial for some people, it can also pose health risks for others. Dopamine is a neuromodulator that caffeine enhances. Dopamine is related to the neuromodulator epinephrine, which is produced from dopamine, and it tends to make us feel pleasant, driven, and energetic.

Adenosine, which is produced naturally, is what causes sleepiness. Caffeine blocks the receptor that gives us energy and raises dopamine, preventing adenosine from having its effect of making us feel drowsy. We feel more hungry when adenosine levels are high, and we don't feel hungry when adenosine levels are low.

There is a second force, known as the circadian force, that controls when we are asleep and are awake. However, light has the most influence over when we desire to sleep and wake up.

A molecule called hormone is released from one organ in the body and travels to other parts of the body, including the neurological system, where it works on other organs.

Due to the presence of the hormone cortisol in the adrenal glands, we wake up in the morning. We feel awake because of a pulse of epinephrine (adrenaline) coming from our adrenal glands and our brain. It has a tendency to alert the body's entire system. This pulse should only happen throughout the day, not in the night.

The morning is when that cortisol pulse starts to increase in intensity. Additionally, a clock is set in our bodies and nervous systems that determines when a different hormone called melatonin, which make us feel sleepy, will be released from a specific region of the brain, the pineal gland, roughly 12 to 14 hours later. There are therefore two signals: a wakefulness signal that starts the timer for the second signal, sleepy signal, and two signals altogether.

Additionally, melatonin delays the start of puberty. Melatonin releases chronically in newborns, suppressing the other brain chemicals. We tend to exit puberty about the time that we start producing melatonin at night.

One thing to bear in mind is that melatonin only aids in sleep onset; it has no effect on sleep maintenance.

Cortisol and melatonin are constantly in rhythm with one another. When that cortisol will start to rise depends on a certain factor affecting our nerve system.

As soon as we open our eyes in the morning, light enters. We have retinal ganglion cells in our eyes, known as brain neurons, that detect a certain sort of light and interact with the superchiasmatic nucleus, a clock that is located directly over the roof of our mouth and that connects to basically every cell and organ in our body.

Our body's internal clock (neurons) reacts to the specific type and quantity of light that comes from sunlight.

There will be extremely wide-ranging and detrimental impacts on cardiovascular health, dementia, metabolic effects, learning, depression, and many other things if cortisol and melatonin do not function effectively as needed.

Many anxiety and depression problems could also be brought on by a late cortisol level increase.

We should go outside and spend some time in the sun to set the circadian clock so that there is plenty of blue and yellow light hitting the retina early in the day. Artificial blue lights will work best for setting this mechanism if there are heavier dark clouds. Additionally, as blue light suppresses melatonin throughout the day, we should wear blue light blocking eyewear at night.

Sunlight prevents the pineal gland from releasing melatonin. darkness allows the pineal to release melatonin. So, we should get up, go outside and get that sunlight for at least 5 to 10 minutes on a regular basis.

We don't need to see or perceive the sun for this mechanism to function; rather, it is a subconscious process by which certain neurons, known as melanopsinganglion cells, set our central clocks by becoming activated by a specific wavelength of light that is present in the atmosphere.

Therefore, it is essential to view light in the morning, ideally sunlight, in order to create good sleep-wake rhythms and enable us to sleep well at night.

The timing of food intake, timing of exercise, and numerous pharmaceuticals and substances that one might ingest are the other factors besides light, but the light is the sole direct input to the clock.

Another structure, the intergeniculate leaflet, is located a few millimeters distant in the brain and is important in controlling the clock output during that are known as non-photic, non-light type impacts, such as exercises, feeding, and other similar activities.

According to a study, watching sunlight around the time of sunset mitigates some of the negative effects of light by delaying the release of melatonin later that evening.

Our retina and those cells become more sensitive to light the longer we have been awake.

Between 11 pm and 4 am, roughly, light enters the eyes and decreases the release of dopamine, which can impede learning and have a variety of other negative effects.

Controlling our nighttime light exposure behavior and avoiding excessive or strong light exposure in the middle of the night is one method we can support our mechanisms for good mood, mental health, learning focus, metabolism, etc.

Since most of these cells are located in the bottom half of our retina, they are observing the area around us that is visible from above. Therefore, we ought to maintain the light source nearby, either on the ground or a desk. The optimum lighting will be low-level, dim lighting because it won't excite neurons, which would change the circadian rhythm. Candlelight, campfires, and fireplaces are acceptable, and the environment can also have low lighting.

The overall amount of time spent sleeping and the time when we feel drowsy are both advanced if we switch on the lights before waking up. We want to go to bed earlier every night because of that.

Many people take afternoon naps to rest their bodies, which can be beneficial to some people but detrimental to others.

Instead of taking a nap, we can practice yog nidra, which enables us to intentionally put our body and mind into a deep state of relaxation. Depending on the practice, we may or may not fall asleep. This is carried out for periods of 10 to 30 or even 60 minutes.

It includes pausing for 10 to 30 minutes while listening to a script, and it has to do with specific breathing patterns that can significantly aid people in learning to relax in order to go asleep. It's a method of self-training that enable us to get our nerve systems to shift from the state of heightened alertness to the condition of heightened relaxation that we desire.

Dopamine and other neuromodulators can reset themselves through yoga nidra and meditation, which enhances our sleep.

What is Adrenaline?

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in the body's stress response, commonly known as the "fight or flight" response. Adrenaline is released in response to stressful or threatening situations, preparing the body for quick action. While adrenaline serves an essential purpose in certain situations, its excessive release or chronic activation can lead to dangerous consequences. Lets explore the significance of adrenaline and the potential dangers associated with its overproduction.

In certain situations, the release of adrenaline can be advantageous and life-saving. For instance, in moments of immediate danger, such as when facing a physical threat or responding to an emergency, the heightened state induced by adrenaline can help individuals act quickly and decisively. It can enhance physical performance and cognitive abilities, improving the chances of survival and successful resolution of the situation.

While adrenaline's rapid response can be beneficial in critical situations, prolonged or excessive activation can have negative effects on the body and mind. Chronic stress, anxiety, or certain medical conditions can lead to the overproduction of adrenaline, creating a continuous state of heightened arousal. This chronic activation can have several dangerous consequences:

a. Cardiovascular Problems: Prolonged elevated levels of adrenaline can strain the cardiovascular system, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure. Over time, this can contribute to the development of hypertension, heart disease, and an increased risk of stroke.

b. Mental Health Issues: Excessive adrenaline can contribute to anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and feelings of restlessness or agitation. Chronic stress can also impact mood regulation, leading to irritability, mood swings, and even depression.

c. Immune System Suppression: High levels of adrenaline can suppress the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.

d. Sleep Disturbances: Chronic activation of the stress response can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and fatigue.

e. Digestive Problems: Adrenaline can reduce blood flow to the digestive system, potentially leading to gastrointestinal issues such as indigestion, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Adrenaline plays a vital role in the body's stress response, preparing individuals to deal with threatening situations. While adrenaline can be life-saving in emergencies, its overproduction and chronic activation can lead to various health issues. Understanding the significance of adrenaline and its potential dangers empowers individuals to adopt healthy stress management practices and maintain a balanced lifestyle, promoting overall well-being and reducing the risk of adverse health consequences.
