> Is it bad to take drugs that effect dopamine and neruephanephrine for a long time?Provigil.( Modafinal) Good for energy, Good for alertness .Acts on adrenergic receptors and glutaminergic receptors. ( The makers don't really know themselves exactly how it works )
Wellbutrin, Zyban, ( Bupropion)
Norepinephrine, weakly on dopamine. Similar effects to above, but maybe more side-effects.Many pychotropic drugs effect dopamine. be it an antagonistic action or agonist action or reuptake inhibition action .
The best dopamine meds, make you feel good without giving you a big side effect burden.
The two best are ( were) Amineptine and Nomnifesine, of course both now withdrawn from the market.Provigil is quite good and has the advantage of being able to be used on "an as needed basis" Fast acting and energizing, even at half recommended dosages.
P.S. If it's made in France, it's already a good sign. " A votre santé"
