I know the theory is that depressed people don't have enough of certain neurotransmitters. Obviously this isn't measurable and what is sufficient for some people isn't enough for others. So, in theory, even if someone who is producing normal levels of chemical in their brain, but are depressed, does this mean they are one of the outliers who require higher levels than most people?
Does reuptake inhibition vs. deamination that this fact into account?
I still question whether to address the depression. I don't want to get the reaction that I've tried drugs which didn't work or weren't tolerable, so that means that I'm either not clinically depressed or have no hope for medication, so I should stop the drug seeking. I need to make an appointment to get Straterra and Xanax refills, but I'm so ashamed and hopeless about the chronic (not terrible at this point) depression that I might not even bother, and just stop all medications (and comfort, ease, school, and work)
