So if I added Trytophan, it might help? I know it's contraindicated but I wonder if it's one of those contraindications that you can ignore - LOL!
What would your suggestion be Scott?

Serotonergics seem to be better "mood-brighteners" than noradrenergics. Noradrenergics might convey more energy - as does Parnate - but without serotonin, there is a lack of "feeling good" about things. Nardil also affects GABA systems. However, I could only guess as to whether this contributes to its anti-melancholic profile. It might prevent hyperactivity in the subgenual cingulate.
