Most chemicals can make you feel good,the problem is simply loading the brain with it doesent mean it will work a certain way.For example wellbutrin effects dopamine,so does parnate,as well as modfanil,..ive taken all three and they all have there own feel.
We are unfortunalty far off from understanding the brain,its sites,and how to be selective in more cases.
