I was interested in what you wrote about Marijuana increasing dopamine levels 6 fold. My psychiatrist prescribed Seroquel for me at a low dosage to raise my dopamine levels--mostly I felt tired taking it, but sometimes felt as if I were stoned--may have just been tiredness. My question is if there is any antidepressant medication that would closely resemble or match the qualities of pot. I find the day after I have smoked pot I usually am much more relaxed, creative, positive, appreciative of life, open, sociable--I wish this were my normal state--marijuana is too draining for me to use on any kind of regular basis though--similar to caffeine in its effects for me--I can't handle caffeine either. Also, I don't like the lack of clarity with pot--but it certainly relieves any social anxiety I might have, and often makes me feel relaxed and more grounded. Any ideas input would be appreciated. Thanks, Joy
