Chemistry of Falling in Love


Image by: Public

We all know the feeling of euphoria when things go right and the awful mood swings when they do not.

 
Falling in love gives you many symptoms like loosing appetite, loosing sleep, losing the ability to concebtrate.
 
You might also experience the feeling that you master everything and you can keep going through 24 hours.
 
The monoamines released are responsible for this.
 
Dopamine has to do with the pleasure system of the brain.
 
Other compounds are natural amphetamines and thus stimulating.
 
Serotonin  controls impulses giving you the sense of being in control while other compounds cause the heart to beat faster and the blood pressure to rise – if you touch or even look at your love.
