In reply to what antidepressant works strong on dopamine?, posted by rjlockhart04-08 on July 2, 2010, at 19:00:05
(Requip) Ropinirole had a major unexpected AD effect as it was prescribed for RLS, another DA like Mirapex
Modafinil was great too, another unexpected MAJOR AD effect. Prescribed for EDS from OSA and shift work.
(Edronax) Reboxetine, is a NE, DA only antidepressant, if you're in the US (Strattera) is the similar US equal to Edronax but it's used for ADHD. I have not tried Strattera but Edronax worked very, very well for me while it lasted and very quickly. That was prescribed for depression only. Look into Strattera it might be really good for you.
After that pooped out for depression I suggested Ritalin to my GP as it was good for DA. I seem to respond very well to DA's. It worked miracles for depression. I am on a very low dose and some days I don't need any. Some days I can get by on 2.5mg once or twice a day, some days I need 10mg at breakfast and another 10mg at lunch. Then it gets tricky for me, if I go any higher, I either get very sleepy or very jittery so I think I'll have to ditch it because I never know which way it's going to go.
Now that Ritalin has pooped out at the moment, I'm trying Mirtazapine which is awful for me so far.
Good luck trying to find something for you that works.
