Comments on: Too Much Norepinephrine? Symptoms & Factors that Lower It https://selfhacked.com/blog/too-much-norepinephrine/ Cutting-Edge Solutions For a Better Life Mon, 15 Feb 2021 13:38:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.1 By: Melissa O'Shea https://selfhacked.com/blog/too-much-norepinephrine/#comment-126794 Mon, 15 Feb 2021 13:38:59 +0000 https://selfhacked.com/?p=65176#comment-126794 It would be good to add that a condition called hyperadrenergic POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) also causes high norepinephrine levels in the body, and can be mistaken for pheochromocytosis, though POTS is much more common. Many people have this syndrome for years before being correctly diagnosed, often being told we have anxiety when what we have are the SYMPTOMS of anxiety (plus many more) due to a combined excess of norepinephrine in the body and as I understand it, a depletion of norepinephrine in the nerves. Adding this condition to articles such as the above might help increase awareness and decrease misdiagnosis and improve treatment of this crippling condition.

You had said, “Some supplements, lifestyle choices, and psychological interventions have decreased norepinephrine in human studies.” I am trying EGCG that you mention and taurine found on another selfhacked page that I’m quite surprised you don’t link to as it also mentions the pharmaceutical nepicastat, and others.

I did find elsewhere that claustridia genus bacteria can also reduce DBH the enzyme that converts DA to NE via HPHPA. But have not yet found which specific strain is best for this and safest. I did find a probiotic with Clostridium butyricum, but this research makes me a bit worried if the manufacuturers are sure their specific strain isn’t pathogenic at all. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1198743X15009143

There’s a growing body of evidence that too much EGCG via supplements can permanently damage the liver resulting, in some cases, in death.
