I'm another low-dopamine guy (amphetamine was always my drug of choice in college). Amineptine (Survector -- no longer available) worked great when I was living outside the US.
When I returned to the US no one knew about Survector so I tried Wellbutrin since it was the only anti-depressant with a dopamine enhancer, and it was terrible for me: I had seriously uncontrollable episodes of rage that lasted for months even after I stopped taking the drug. Scared the hell out of me and my family.
I've tried a variety of things since then, and what seems to work best is something the docs say shouldn't work at all: a combination of low doses of zoloft and celexa, with amantadine (a dopamine enhancer prescribed for Parkinsons)
Good luck. Everyone's different.
