Greetings Ben,

Buproprion (Wellbutrin) would be a novel choice for you due to its stimulating properties and reuptake inhibition of dopamine.

I was thinking you could also try venlafaxine (Effexor) because there is no known dopamine depletion with it and it may inhibit the reuptake of dopamine at high doses. Some people report stimulation from it; others do not.

If all your doctor determines that you can try is an anti-RLS drug then consider Mirapex (pramipexole), which has studies done on it for major depression and bipolar depression.

Good luck Ben,
tSa WeSt
