Norepinephrine and noradrenaline are the same, but excreted in the body it's noradrenaline, in the brain it's norepinephrine 🤷‍♀️

Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors:

• atomoxetine - Strattera
• desvenlafaxine - Pristiq
• duolexetine - Cymbalta
• levomilnacipran - Fetzima
• milnacipran - Savella
• venlafaxine - Effexor

Neurochemistry

norepinephrine is created from [[dopamine]] → L-DOPA → norepinephrine. The body needs copper for this (but there are problems with too much copper can cause an [[dopamine norepinephrine imbalance]]

Pathology

[[dopamine norepinephrine imbalance]]

Excess

Excess norepinephrine activity symptoms

• [[distractability]]
• [[Anxiety]]
• insomnia (possibly)
• high blood pressure
• accellerated or irregular heartbeat
• sweating
• blood in urine
• fluid buildup in lungs
• blindness
• inflamed heart tissues, heart attack
• oxygen shortage in liver, other organs
• kidney failure
• stroke

Causes of excess neuroepinephrine

• Some rare tumors
• drug withdrawal
• Chronic kidney disease (high blood pressure common)

Insufficiency
