Hey Noa, no biggie ... I lost myself WAAAY before the first few paragraphs ;^)

I would imagine that any med that addresses what your neurochemical "deficits" are would aid cognition, motivation, etc. (but gimme a p<.1 on that). 2.5 years on SSRIs with no sustained positive effect pretty much demonstrated to me that my problems were not with seratonin. Rather quick and well sustained effects with meds that influence norepinephrine and dopamine lead me to believe I just *might* be onto something here.

I guess the question is whether the wrong med, even those meds that are relatively benign when they're the "wrong" med, will have no effect or will it screw you up even further?

cheers,
bob
