Yes, Adderall I know works on Dopamine. I was on Effexor (which is a broad range AD). When it was working on my serotinin level it was fine, but when my dose was upped and starting working on my Dopamine(sp) I was a mess. I became very anti-social, depressed, and just generally weird. It was awful! The funny thing is, though, my new pdoc has me on Adderall now and I feel great! My ADD is in check and I am getting things done! I haven't had a need for an additional AD like I have in the years past, mainly I believe because my depression was a by product of my ADD and it has never been treated directly before now. There have been a few studies about the addiction factor of Adderall and ritalin; it seems ppl who are truly ADD/ADHD don't abuse them like a non Adder would. I guess they are just so thrilled to finally feel "normal" that it is enough of a "high". Hope I have helped some...
