> Hi,
> I have really enjoyed reading the posts at this site. I have found the information invaluable. The
> people that post here are well-read and have done their

> drug discourse that I have found on the net.The

> I have struggled with treatment resistant depression
> for many years. It was't until I started reading posts

> with low levels of dopamine. When I read about Amineptine here and its effect on dopamine a lightbulb
> lit up. What I don't understand is why there is so
> little talk of dopamine in most of the antidepressent
> literature. I recently changed from Reboxetine to
> Effexor XR and then added Zyprexa to the Effexor with
> very good results. I learned about Zyprexa at this site. JohnL's knowledge has been especially astute.
> AndrewB's 'amisulpride answers' is excellent. SalArmy4Me has provided lots of great input. For the

> I have found that Dexedrine has been an excellent
> jumpstarter for my antidepressents and accelerates
> theraputic effect. Dex speeds up body metabolism(heart
> rate, circulation, brain funtion, acuity, eliminations,
