Substance abuse is kind of all similar. Do any of you guys have mneumonics that can help fellow docs to remember? Any mneumonics can do. Signs, symptoms, etd. Whatever you found useful! Cheers and Thanks ahead of time! <:help:>

all stimulatants increase dopamine except caffiene which decreases adenosine

all sedatives increase gaba except opiates which increase dopamine

all hallucinogens increase serotonin except PCP which decreases glutamate.

  #4

No offense but I find it difficult to use the word ALL in this arena or any arena.
