Nicotine Smoking of tobacco through different
routes. Agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
(nAChR),role in cognitive processes. Rewarding effect of nicotine requires
involvement of VTA in which (nAChR) are expressed on dopamine neurons.
Nicotine withdrawal : irritability, sleep problems.

neurons of the VTA. Bupropion + behavioural therapy

Anxiolytic and sleep medications Abused for their EUPHORIC effects GABAA receptors on interneurons,
disinhibition of mesolimbic dopamine system-----rewarding effects.
Withdrawal symptoms include Irritability, insomnia, photophobia,
depression, muscle cramps and even seizures.
