Amperozide

Amperozide is an atypical antipsychotic of the diphenylbutylpiperazine class which acts as an antagonist at the 5-HT2A receptor. It does not block dopamine receptors as with most antipsychotic drugs, but does inhibit dopamine release, and alters the firing pattern of dopaminergic neurons. It was investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia in humans, but never adopted clinically, its main use is instead in veterinary medicine, primarily in intensively farmed pigs, for decreasing aggression and stress and thereby increasing feeding and productivity.

    The End... And Here We All Die

    by: Embraced

    Guilty, guilty as sin
    Guilty of putrefaction
    Feels it tearing up the heart and soul
    Of the world that I once knew
    I blame you humanity
    Now its gone
    The world is crying
    And here we all die
    Leaving footprints filled with despair
    Storming through what was so beautiful
    All I see is ashes of life and beauty
    You will never see another day
    Marching like thousands of soldiers
    Destroying everything
    The sun turns black in front of my eyes
    The moon is crying
    A disease without vaccin
    Spreads like wildfire
    I call you guilty
    But do you know what it is
    I blame you
    You are guilty
    Guilty of putrefaction
