Have You Had Your "Love" Hormone Today? *Oxytocin...

I have been researching the hormone Oxytocin affectionately also known as "The Love Hormone."

I found there are a couple of forms of the drug available as sprays, one of which is a nasal spray. *One company also markets oxytocin as "Liquid Trust."

QUESTION: Has anyone here at LPSG reading this post had some experience with the synthetic version of Oxytocin?

I'm considering using Oxytocin which can be purchased "over the counter" ("OTC") and also available on Internet for the following health benefits.

1. Mood;

2. Inhibits the development of tolerance to various addictive drugs (opiates, cocaine, alcohol) and reduces withdrawal symptoms;

3. Since SSRIs (anti-depressant drugs) lower sexual desire and function, decreasing the sensitivity of oxytocin receptors, thus*improving orgasm;

4. The various anti-stress functions. Oxytocin reduces blood pressure and cortisol levels, increasing tolerance to pain, and reducing anxiety; and

5. MDMA (ecstasy) may increase feelings of love, empathy and connection to others by stimulating oxytocin activity via activation of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors.

Excerpts from Wikipedia:

"Oxytocin and vasopressin are the only known hormones released by the human posterior pituitary gland to act at a distance."

Vasopressin is a similar hormone in men.*

*1 DHEA: The Anti-Aging Super Hormone. *Anti-aging medicine has taken tremendous strides in the last decade. Numerous studies have demonstrated that much can be done to slow or even halt the aging process. Anti-aging researchers and medical doctors have presented many products that are said to help aging baby boomers regain the vitality and stamina of their youth. One of these products is the hormone DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone.

DHEA is a mother hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. It is so called because it is the source of all other sex and steroid hormones in the body and is the most abundant hormone. DHEA is made from cholesterol. After it is secreted from the adrenal glands it is converted into whatever hormones the body needs, such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and cortisone. For this reason DHEA is called a prohormone in that it acts as a buffer that interacts with other hormones in the body.
