Thanks, well they still don't give relative figures for ritalin or amphetamines but I guess this shows my chart is bogus and I suppose the dopamine action of SSRI's is trivial though that's not entirely clear without seeing a stimulant on that chart.
In any case I'm taking ritalin along with the zoloft. And zoloft is one that's recommended for OCD which seems it should be helpful for the overfocused type ADD in relaxing me. I'm taking clonazepam 1mg also for that purpose.
I got the idea that the dopamine & norepenephrine effects of ssris could be significant because effexor really messed with my sleep pattern & it is supposed to have a significant norepenephrine effect though supposedly not until you reach very high doses. But it did seem to mess with my sleep.
The zoloft in any case is not giving me bad side effects compared to effexor so whatever the reason it seems better for me.
