Welcome to the NEW Baltimore County volunteer site! We encourage agencies in Baltimore County and the surrounding communities to create a profile to highlight their volunteer needs. We invite people searching for volunteer opportunities to use either the quick search tool above or register as a volunteer from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
By inhibiting the dopamine transporter, a dopamine reuptake inhibitor increases the body's extracellular concentrations of dopamine, which in turn increases dopaminergic neurotransmission and creates feelings of pleasure or even euphoria. A dopamine reuptake inhibitor has a number of medical applications.
Few studies exist on the range of side effects of dopamine when there is too much synthetic dopamine in the body. Cardiac arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat, is one of the common effects of excess dopamine. Other side effects of dopamine include heart pain and high blood pressure. These side effects can be dangerous, and anyone with these problems should see a medical provider immediately.
