Ritalin, adderall, tyrosine, and d-phenylalanine all produce euphoria for me. Sadly it only lasts a few hours and then followup doses do not restore the initial effects, and in the end I become more depressed from continued use or from the withdrawal. So I'm screwed either way. That is a dead end road for me.
Amisulpride provided a short 2 day euphoria when starting it, probably due to the flood of dopaminie similar to the other drugs mentioned above.
One med out of dozens I have tried that produced such a good antidepressant effect that it was close to euphoria, but not quite there, was adrafinil. By itself not. But in combination with an ssri and given a few weeks it was amazing. It showed no sign of poopout or tolerance even after a year. I think that is because it doesn't boost neuro levels thus inducing tolerance or adaptation, but instead acts as an exciter and agonist of receptors. Its metabolite modafinil didn't work like it at all.
So basically, for me anyway, dopamine equals euphoria. A high stakes losing game though.
The closest thing to it that can last and last is adrafinil plus ssri combo.
