> Both it and Methylphenidate-Ritilin work on DA and NE. Wellbutrin i think indirectly effects it, compared to direct methylphenidate, maybe why it has a slow onset. At 400mg i heard it does have some stimulant activity, doing trials.

> But a high doses make me irrtible compared to Ritilin, high doses of ritilin usally cause euphoria because of the excess dopamine blockade.
