message: There are criteria for withdrawl established for different drugs in the DSM-IV TR. Those should also be considered part of this article. 70.48.159.12 16:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on drug abuse withdrawal is highly inaccurate if not guess work. Can anything cite this? The statement that all drugs affect dopamine is ridiculous, along with the statement that says the brain will be eventually devoid of all pleasure. This seems like it was taken from unscientific low level propaganda. This needs a rewrite and a citation or two.

message: I think this article misses the experience also called 'craving' that occurs during long-term abstinence.  In this situation, the addict feels an extremely intense urge to use/drink.  This may occur at any time during the abstinence (1 day to 20 yrs).  It may or may not be accompanied by a trigger.  It may or may not be preceded by a cognition justifying use ("I can stop after just one", "the consequences of my prior use weren't that bad").  Addressing cravings is a key part of 'relapse prevention,' during periods of abstinence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.248.3 (talk) 16:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Craving without withdrawal 

message: Reward from any drug is mediated by dopamine at the level of communication between the Ventral Tegmentum (VT) and the Nucleus Accumbens (NA).  Inputs to the VT can be mediated by any of a number of receptors (opiate, cannabanoid, acetyl choline (nicotine))
Lack of emotion in response to any particular drug occurs when the circuits connecting the limbic system and both the VT and NA are atrophied, as the result of ongoing use.  This would more affect response to triggers, than to other stimuli.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.248.3 (talk) 16:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dopamine and neurobiology 

message: This article attempts to strongly relate euphoric aspects of drugs with their addictive nature.  While there may be some small degree of pleasure-centre connection, some of the most addictive substances (eg nicotine) are not strongly related to any euphoric effect, whearas some of the most euphoric (eg:extacy MDMA) are not addictive.
I'm tempted just to delete several paragraphs as lacking any citation or basis in reality.  ??? --Jaymax (talk) 00:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
