Is there a possible way of finding which of the mood related chemicals in the brain you have an imbalance of ? I have dysthymia. It is genetic because a lot of my family had what I'm going through. They just never got help for it. I took paxil which seemed to help my dysthymia for 6 months and after that it still helped but it made me hypomanic.Paxil helped my other problems (touretts(tics), panic and anxiety attacks) but it didn't help my adhd. It made my adhd worse. I failed grade 11 two years in a row because of paxil. I don't know why I kept taking it for two years. I am thinking wellbutrin now but what if my illnesses are not dopeamine and neurpinephrine related but only serotonin? I know tourretts and adhd can be caused by too much dopeamine , wellbutrin is supposed to help this?/? Is tryin different meds the trial and error procedure the only way to go?
