When you swallow, a flap called the epiglottis moves to block the entrance of food particles into your larynx and lungs. The muscles of the larynx pull upward to assist with this movement. They also tightly close during swallowing. That prevents food from entering your lungs.

Occasionally, a drug is used to treat a particular mental illness but also ends up affecting other non-related neurotransmitters
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

the experience of side effects

Explanation:

Since drugs act  indiscriminately on neurotransmitters and in the process alter the balance of other substances common negative side effects are:

<em>    Drowsiness. Dizziness Restlessness. Weight gain </em>

Dry mouth and other mucose will have less segregation, or the contrary will happen.

Drugs act on the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. Some antidepressants or anxiety-related medicine will potentially cause imbalances that the body will be able to adjust after some weeks.

An important element to consider is that medication should endure a period of adaptation and be sustained, and avoid suddenly stoping the consumption without a plan of detoxicating.

The effects apply to the state of mind, as feelings of being depressed or paranoid can happen, personality changes, headaches, and vomiting.
