I'm on a schduele, i take 40mg on ODD days, and 80mg on even,
Prozac does increase, well not the mood, it just changes some perceptions you see life by increasing serotonin, and i've also heard it indirectly increaes dopamine.
I have been on Wellbutrin before, but i was read about, wellbutrin is good because d-amphetamine releases dopamine, and contant release of it, can lead to depression. But i take a low dose (Spansules) that spread through out the day.
Prozac at 80mg with Dexedrine does cause more "postive feeling energy". And i've read somewhere that Prozac itself, increases amphetamine's metabolites. But, what i heard on a site, was Wellbutrin was good for concentration.
The only thing...i was on it, and i had side effects, and i would always feel this "tingling" sensation. I thought i was, going crazy....
Whats really the diffrence in taking Prozac, from Wellbutrin? or any SSRI.
I know, because from expereince, Wellbutrin is more "locomotive" activating, but not as close as stimulants for ADHD.
My doctor said, the Prozac would help with anxiety. Sometimes, since Prozac was the (one) of the first SSRI's, it works diffrently than the rest. I feel hypomanic on it sometimes, and them sometimes, i feel horrible, i mean why do antidepressants...do the thing they do? side effects.
just a question, but if you could maybe reason...Wellbutrin V.s Prozac, Prozac is a pretty potent antidepressant, so it should keep nuerosmitters from "dying out". I just hope long term usage, is not going to "die out my brain"
thank;)
