Question:
Hi all, A friend of mine were talking the other night about PTSD and anxiety and I was womdering if anyone has heard about adrenanline burn out? And what are the symptons? I know for me I have run on that flight or fight mode for over 30 years and I would make a safe bet to say my adrenanline is gone. Does the body make more–or what? Definetly a question for my psychology teacher tommorrow, but wanted to toss it out here and see what you all think. Thanks, Jeannie

<grining> you won’t get out of it that easily … i’m sure your body is producing hormones as usual.

This isn’t really a response to your question, Jeannie, but I have noticed with myself: For years, I was depressed, cried all the time, wondered what people thought about me and CARED what people thought about me. For the past, I think, five years, I have been in a totally different mode – still depressed at times, but I don’t cry, I just get angry. I also don’t care what anyone else thinks about me anymore. I only care what I think about me and what God thinks about me. Now, if I could just make the "anger go away forever….."

I am almost 100% positive, it is a hormone produced by the pituitary an endocrine gland. (or maybe it’s exocrine)

I believe that adrenaline comes from the adrenal glands, a hormone-producing set of bodies parked on top of the kidneys. In my experience, these glands don’t ever give up making adrenaline … which is the hormone for the fight or flight response. Think about it a little. When we were evolving as a species, those who couldn’t flee danger at the drop of a hat ultimately couldn’t reproduce … they were dead. Too much adrenaline can and does destroy other parts of the body … like the heart … but (lea please correct my understanding) I doubt that anything short of surgery or disease can destroy the adrenals.

To really answer this question you should study the HPA axis. Here is a link to an abstract about over activation of the HPA axis, which I believe occurs with long term PTSD. http://www.biopsychiatry.com/hpa.htm Hope this helps. Margaret p&e Jeannie <jst42da…@aol.com> wrote in message

Morine, you asked so an assignment/essay you want ng’s to answer for you >Morine
and my answer is nope. I only wished it could be so easy. No, all my research has to be scientifically studied and and I have to provide the data and statistics along with the journals I obtained my information from. This was a personal question I have because I was diagnosed with PTSD 5 years ago and felt like I had literally burned up all my adrenaline. And was just curios if a person can really do that. Maybe when I get a break from all my other research, I can go online and find the information somewhere. Have a good day, Jeannie

Jeannie, I think it was in Aphrodite Matsakis’ book that I read about this. From what I remember =/ people with PTSD have a "setting" that keeps the fight/flight level of adrenaline going. Something like an elevated level is set in the body due to past traumas and leading to PTSD with high level of adrenaline and other neurotransmitters being "set". Not sure if I recall it correctly, but I do know that when I read about it I said "Aha!" because it made sense. Consciously we WANT to turn it down. Physiologically we are fighting a setting our body has decided we need in order to survive. I especially felt the AHA when I read it as I was abused from a very early age…thus my meter was set high and mighty. Not a good thing in my opinion and I thank God for Klonopin!

Sorry, Morine, but adrenaline is epinephrine which is a hormone released by the adrenal gland, commonly released during the fight or flight reponse. Numerous medical conditons can either amplify this response or impair it. Richard

Yep you are correct, I had a look at a chapter I’d skipped in a book I’ve been reading, it is a hormone. I’ve been reading about the psychological causes and effects and had neglected to study up on one of the perhaps one of the most important aspects, being the physioloical causes and effects. thanks!
