Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Doctors often prescribe it to treat low blood pressure, heart failure, sleep problems, restless leg syndrome, and several other ailments. It is also important in the proper function of the memory, mood, learning, attention, and movement. This is one of the ‘feel good’ substances in the brain and it is produced when there is pleasurable stimulation, such as during eating and while having an orgasm. Yet, for some unknown reason, people who take dopamine or dopaminergic drugs are many times more likely to become addicted to gambling than those who don’t.
No way, this is crazy stuff.
Most doctors know this but don’t tell their patients, either.
