Andrew,

Excelent post, and I totally agree. . Except for one thing: I would have never known what was possible, for my mind, my thoughts, my very awareness itself, had I not *tried* Dexedrine.

It's a crime that Wellbutrin is the only dopamine enhancing AD. . . .Only because Prozac took off, so the rest of the drug companies followed suit.

SSRIs are only half -- or less -- the story. And people suffer, as a result. As well as SSRIs being worthless, or worse, in many cases, like mine.

What can be done? Well, for one, no shilly-shallying about "stimulants." There have been enormous, major discoveries in the last few years about dopamine -- I recall when it was a Time cover story -- as the "reward" chemical. . with huge implications for all manner of addiction and reward-seeking behaviors. There was even the discovery at Brookhaven of the genetic glitch on one of the dopamine alles (sp?) (receptor sites.)

Did any new meds come out as a result? Are you kidding?

Zo
