2. Those are archaic Greek terms
We need to name it for what it is - a brain cockatail!

All is chemical...

5. These are the brain chemicals that are produced when you are in "love"
Edited on Tue Aug-19-08 06:48 PM by Taverner
All of that which you feel is chemical.

Has nothing to do with Opiates.

Opiates mimic your endorphins, but they fall short.

These are the brain chemicals that you get when you are in love.

10. I always thought it was.
Then again, SSRI's kill one's sex drive, so it kind of makes sense.

11. Ahhh but I'm not talking about sex
I'm not sure about the Orgasm Cocktail, but I think its a lot more chemicals. Not sure if Seratonin is in there, but Oxytocin comes in at the end.
