> Linkadgei never responded to ssri's...combination of effexor and wellbutrin has helped me a lot. i believe that the underlying problem besides my depression is ADD that went untreated as a child..cause of ADD not really sure but is assumed to be imbalance of dopamine and norepinephrine..that is why those two meds work for me..oh and methamphetamine works good too.
there might be a few people out there who do not have any mental health issues but continue to take ssri's for lets say to lose weight, social confidence, etc. but who knows if their results is caused from the ssri itself or the placebo affect (you would be very surprised on how powerful the mind is)
are u looking for something that will inhance a certain brain chemical or what? l-tyrosine is good for dopamine, hated 5-htp for serotonin..then u have my favorites..the stimulants. dexedrine, adderall, even ritalin. very helpful when not abused.
