EMSAM is a patch I put on and replace every day at the same time. Yeah, I don't know what it could mean when I take Adderall and it doesn't give me any psychotropic effect. I know that there IS supposed to be a psychotropic effect, and I know what it is supposed to feel like. Before the anhedonia set in, a 20 mg dose of Adderall used to make me extremely focused on whatever I was doing and it was also very interesting. There was a desire to want to continue and keep working on whatever task you were on. Now, if it weren't for the increased heart rate I wouldn't know I was on Adderall. From what I understand, Adderall also increases norepinephrine. So if it isn't dopamine, and it isn't norepinephrine, and it isn't serotonin, then what else left is there? Has there been some structural damage done to my brain? MRIs show everything intact.
