That is why I often refer to this as a dopaminergic rebound since it is not truly bipolar. Serotonin has an inhibitor effect on dopamine, and when you stop an SSRI your serotonin is low for awhile and dopamine is high. At least this is possible in theory. Why highly trained medical doctors have not figured it out I do not know.> Anyhow, parnate gave me the worst insomnia. With parnate everything just became super intense, and any fear that "could be" was. I spend the entire day feeling painfully guilty over past mistakes. I began to think the only way I could feel normal was to beg for the forgivness from all the people I had wronged, to expose every single skeleton in my closet to the world.

> LinkadgeThats pretty wild. I've wondered about taking parnate, I want to destroy anhedonia, but not go back to the way I after coming off prozac. I've been looking at noradrenergic drugs, since they seem to help motivation and hedonia without making me bonkers.
