Studies to test this hypothesis by adding an alpha-2 antagonist to impramine or other TCA have been inconclusive or outright failures, however. Also, buspirone desensitizes the inhibitory 5HT-1A presynaptic receptor, yet it is commonly regarded as a weak drug at best.

Hi z,

I wonder about the longer period of time for Ritalin theory. I wonder if anyone else has had that experience. I guess I could do that experiment to find out. Re Buspar: Don't you hate it when theoretically something should work out and it doesn't? (Buspar did nothing for me but make me nauseous.) I think I need serotonin, NE and DA boosting which makes me wonder if all of my autoreceptor systems are hypersensitive or whether I just have too much MAO.

Thanks for your input.

Kara
