Alcohol's effect on dopamine
Does anyone know anything about this? I've read a few posts from people who want to kill themselves or have suicidal thoughts when they drink. That's the same with me. As soon as I drink, I start thinking that life would be better for everyone if I weren't here. I talk about killing myself. I do think I have low dopamine. I've tried antidepressants -- many of them -- in the past, but nothing has worked for me. I wonder if the damage I've done to my brain is permanent. Anyone know anything about how alcohol affects brain chemicals?
