Wellbutrin was a rollar coaster for me, very edgy and unstable, this med diffinetly is more norepeniphrine active than dopamine, when i got off the ride i puked my guts out, then felt better.
Thses research scientinsts are sure taking there times, and seem to be brazy about find new serotonin and norepenhirine Inhibitors.
Hello dopamine is active with drive and motivation...... dexedrine always boosts my daily ambition.
Anyways, lets get some posts. and not let this be a clucker post.
Good Day
Matt

Excuse me? No one is going to answer you with that kind of attitude. The is no need to be rude. I think everyone on this board has been more than tolerant with your string of posts you have asked about every possible med that exists and then some.

Of course I don't hate you, I don't know you. But you are only 17 and I think a lot of your problems would be treated better with therapy than putting chemicals into your body. I think your father is messing with your mind and you need to learn how to shut him out. There must be someone you can talk to. A school counsellor?
That's just my 2 cents.

hello there, chemist here...maxime is correct, and young mr. mcconathy is not the only repeat customer. i have been on this board for almost one year, less a 4-month hiatus. nothing has changed. there are posts - recent and not in this thread - entitled ``has anyone cut an extended-release xanax in half?'' and other burning issues. i have followed this thread for way too long: why are there daily - and numerous - posts spanning the better part of 6 to 8 months concerning barbiturates, alcohol, and benzodiazepines? the questions have been answered ad nauseum, and you need only use dr. bob's google search to find your very own continual posts. in my opinion, the reason you are experiencing a low response rate is because literally dozens of posters have addressed your identical queries over and over and over again. i suggest you sally forth to your nearest chain bookstore and shell out the $80US or so for the 2005 Physician's Desk Reference (PDR). in addition, use the on-line FDA Electronic Orange Book. if money is tight, hit a second-hand bookstore and purchase a PDR published within the last 5 years. it is way beyond the time when queries such as ``which is stronger: ativan or klonopin?'' should be posted: this horse has been beaten (as have others) long ago. all the best, chemist

Amen Chemist. I don't think too many use the search function before they ask a non-specific question.

hello maxime, chemist here...the search function - and many features designed to navigate the turbulent waters of PB - remain a mystery to me, and i can only invoke babblemail by digging through larry's old post(s). again. and again. and again. so, i am guilty of luddite behaviour myself - not to mention other behaviours not fit for a snake in the grass!
i wanted to make clear that the pattern i have observed on the meds board is perpetuated by many folks who may not be in-the-know about the good, bad, and ugly reaches of the internet: as a scientist, it is `obvious'' to me that my cursory look at a compound ought be directed towards the peer-reviewed literature and taken in concert with anecdotal/official/other reports funneled through (in the u.s.) the FDA and other satellite agencies.
this approach is likely going to yield data from studies that are orthogonal to the issues addressed on PB: therein lies the rub, as what do forced-swimming tests with rodent models tell us about the human brain, aside from (usually) indications that the medical/pharmaceutical/therapeutical communities are on the right or wrong ``track.''
aside from this bee in my bonnet, the dearth of posters who report that they have actually visited the website of a manufacturer of a drug and downloaded the prescribing information is staggering: i might not agree with dancingstar's effexor stance, yet i do applaud her providing information that will enable folks who feel that adverse effects are, in fact, more than advertised the (mostly) proper procedure(s) for addressing the situation.
enough. all the best, chemist

I give great credit to people who come to this board asking questions about their medications, their conditions, their side effects, their successes! I also give great credit to those who are most patient with my questions which may have been asked a dozen or so pages ago. Thanks for the gentle reminder about using some of the search functions available. :anneL

hello there, chemist here...i reiterate that my intent was/is not to ding the unwary - i only frequent this site, and only since last march, and with numerous vacations - as we have all been there and done that. support comes in many flavors, yet it is amazing that on a meds board such as this there will be 5 or more repeat threads asking for information that is likely available from Dr. Hsiung's links on the index page. the community atmosphere and constant learning is wonderful; one year of ``is klonopin stronger than ativan (nm)?'' is not so wonderful, in my opinion.*** a special bonus: many of the answers to all questions are contained in free, downloadable PDF prescribing information text, available at places with URLs such as www.wyeth.com or www.pfizer.com. the physician's desk reference is the telephone-book sized tome found in every M.D./D.O. office and is a formatted collection of these very data supplied by the manufacturer. thompson does the publishing, and if a non-medical-doctor strolls into the nearest bookstore (the doctors receive free copies), about $80US will be sufficient. nice photos of pills, some info concerning pregnancy categories, and very little else are included. one could even ask their doc if last year's model (new editions are shipped in late november) is available for free. it is not the answer to all questions - it is not a pharmacy/pharmacology/psychopharmacology text - but it does most of the job....and it is not a scheduled item.....all the best, chemist

Many pharmaceutical companies have set up web pages named by drug. Point your browser at
"drug name".com to see if there is one for the drug you are interested in.e.g. effexor.com or adderall.com or lamictal.com
These pages have links to the prescribing information.
Public library reference sections have copies of the PDR.
