Don't you just love the news these days?
I have just read, with some considerable bemusement, that this particular anti-diarrhoea medication MIGHT "counteract biological processes underlying ASD" by binding to our μ-opioid receptors - you know, the ones normally affected by heroin, morphine and other opioid drugs. This is news worthy because it MIGHT impact our "core symptom" of "social communication deficits." Who knew!?! I wonder if it will stop us getting the sh**s too?
So it is probably very simple after all everybody - although "further work" will be required to test this hypothesis! [gosh, I love how they keep it balanced.]
I just thought I would lob this red meat into the arena at stupid-o-clock in the morning to give me time to beat a hasty retreat before the lions wake up. I was never here!!
I knew it decreases my anxiety, I found out from opiate withdrawal, but I did forget until I saw this. Today I had an interview so I took one and did feel less anxiety. Obviously you wouldn't want to take it too much or you'll end up with what I call "Elvis Presley syndrome" where you feel like you're gonna have a heart attack when you go to the toilet... Side effect is they make me feel horny for some reason?
Fascinating! That information is worth passing around. Thanks for sharing.
