>Hi Spriggy:
I know you asking this question for a friend, because we know you have to get your thyroid taken of before you start taking any more psych meds (nudge,nudge,...wink,wink)
So tell "your friend" to look at SLS' great chart http://sl.schofield3.home.att.net/medicine/psychiatric_drugs_chart.html
and check out the properties of various medications. There are meds that focus on dopamine, but not ADs. And why wouldn't "your friend" want to have something that targets norepinephrine as well. Since "your friend" might have anxiety issues and working just on the dopamine would not be a prudent way to go.But you are waiting until Wednesday when you will meet with your endocrinologist and find out what treatment you will be receiving and if you need more tests .... right? ;-)
