Withdrawal: Catatonia [can kill you]

Withdrawal can cause symptioms of catatonia and/or neuroleptic malign syndrome:

• В increased creatine levels (destruction of muscles) that can lead to kidney failure (mostly neuroleptic malign syndrome)
• stupor, motionless apathetic state, mental confusion
• excess activation can be possible: hyperactivity
• malignant catatonia: fever (hyperthermia), autonomic instability (blood pressure, sweating?) "..represents the malignant form of the condition and identifies patients with high risk of death."

Problems: reduced dopaminergic activity and excess glutamatergic activity (due withdrawal from 5-HT2A) and probably also because of damaged astrocyte cells (destruction of astrocytes) meaning that glutamatergic system is out of control.

• nicotine, sex increases dopamine, exercise increases neurotransmitters, ashwagandha contains levodopa
• ceftriaxone [improves EAAT2 pump function]
• benzos
• relora (NMDA antagonist, adenosine agonist, GABA [but increases acetylcholine])
• BCAA
