That is very helpful information!

So my rants talking about how our bodies have to relearn how to produce the good stuff, like endorphins to feel naturally well, is pretty close. I've read some studies using rats where the rats lost their natural ability to produce dopamine when they were forced into opiate addiction, demonstrating agitated behavior and disturbed sleep patterns when they were then forced to withdraw. Interesting.
