It's like an ssri is a dam that produces a large stationary pool of neuros, but with little flow...drop the dose and it's like opening up the dam a little bit creating some flow. Tianeptine could work that way. No prob getting a precription for it.

> Great ideas and I appreciate it. Thanks all.I am on Ritalin 80mgs +Nicotine+Caffeine, and find it very usefull, especially in the get up and go dept.
I just aborted a 2 week combo with Prozac as the SEs were intolerable, and it greatly lessoned the ADD/HD effects of the Ritalin, as MANY on SSRIs+stims report.
I seem to feel better with higher levels of Dopamine.
I hope to try Dextroamphetamine next, as it seems to be preferred by most adults.
Cheers
