Hey Kaye, I'm terribly sorry, I never look this far up the board.
You don't say whether you suffer from insomnia. But you do say that you respond favourably to tyrosine and ginkgo, so that might be dopamine related. In which case deprenyl might be good.
I've taken deprenyl or selegeline for the best part of a decade, just about always low dose. Since I suffer from a dreadful sleep cycle/architecture etc I keep the dose down to 1mg/d sublingual deprenyl citrate.
Now, what does it do for me, apart from encouraging depraved fantasies? (Well, I dunno about that, I'm probably just like that, then again....)
It's no big deal, but it's certainly my favourite supplement. Makes you feel a bit younger, puts a bit of a spring in your step, makes you think about sex more, makes you feel mentally clearer. But probably not much clearer unless low dopamine levels are causing you to feel this way. Even so, cleare, better, younger. The effects are cumulative(I think), there's been no pooping out.My wife took it for a while, 2.5-5mg selegeline for 3 weeks. She said she didn't notice anything and her sleep was undisturbed. OTOH 2 days on rhodiola and her sleep was patchy. (Normally she sleeps very well.)
The effect is very like that of mucana pruriens.
I really liked the combination of deprenyl and rhodiola. I felt euphoric but couldn't sleep properly at all.
Anyway I'd bet my bottom dollar that deprenyl is better than Wellbutrin. I've not taken it, but did take Tenuate when I was young and clueless, and it wasn't rewarding.
I hope you get round to reading this.
