Question | Answer |
Methamphetamine/Amphetamine | Stimulant / Stimulates the release of monoamines in a non-vesicular manner. Displaces monoamines from vesicles thus forcing uptake protein to dump. |
Cocaine | Stimulant / Decreases the uptake of monoamines thus increasing levels in the synaptic cleft. Inhibits NET, DAT, SAT |
Nicotine | Stimulant / Stimulates reticular activating system and DA release into nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex. |
Morphine | Opoids (Depressants) / Activation of opioid receptors (Gi, G protein) to decrease presynaptic calcium channel opening and increase postsynaptic potassium channel opening. Also decreases activation of GABA and thus disinhibits dopamine to NA. |
Heroin | Opoids (Depressants) / Activation of opioid receptors (Gi, G protein) to decrease presynaptic calcium channel opening and increase postsynaptic potassium channel opening. Also decreases activation of GABA and thus disinhibits dopamine to NA. |
Coedine | Opoids (Depressants) / Activation of opioid receptors (Gi, G protein) to decrease presynaptic calcium channel opening and increase postsynaptic potassium channel opening. Also decreases activation of GABA and thus disinhibits dopamine to NA. |
Oxycodone | Opoids (Depressants) / Activation of opioid receptors (Gi, G protein) to decrease presynaptic calcium channel opening and increase postsynaptic potassium channel opening. Also decreases activation of GABA and thus disinhibits dopamine to NA. |
Fentanyl | Opoids (Depressants) / Activation of opioid receptors (Gi, G protein) to decrease presynaptic calcium channel opening and increase postsynaptic potassium channel opening. Also decreases activation of GABA and thus disinhibits dopamine to NA. |
Alprazolam | Benzodiazepines (Depressants) / Positive allosteric modulator at GABA-a receptors acting to enhance the frequency of channel opening in response to GABA. Enhanced sensory perceptions, feeling of social closeness, amnesia. |
Diazepam | Benzodiazepines (Depressants) / Positive allosteric modulator at GABA-a receptors acting to enhance the frequency of channel opening in response to GABA. Enhanced sensory perceptions, feeling of social closeness, amnesia. |
Lorazepam | Benzodiazepines (Depressants) / Positive allosteric modulator at GABA-a receptors acting to enhance the frequency of channel opening in response to GABA. Enhanced sensory perceptions, feeling of social closeness, amnesia. |
GHB (Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) | Depressant / Agonist at GABA-B receptors / Euphoria, enhanced sensory perceptions, feeling of social closeness, amnesia. |
Alcohol | Depressant / Many actions including GABA-A allosteric modulator. |
LSD | Hallucinogens / 5-HT2A receptors in prefrontal cortex |
PCP | Hallucinogens / Block NBMA glutamate receptor |
Ketamine | Hallucinogens / Block NBMA glutamate receptor |
Marijuana | Cannabinoids / Bind CB1 receptor in brain to inhibit release of glutamate or GABA |
THC | Cannabinoids / Bind CB1 receptor in brain to inhibit release of glutamate or GABA |
K2/Spice | Cannabinoids / Bind CB1 receptor in brain to inhibit release of glutamate or GABA |
