> Methylpenidate blocks the reupake of dopamine at the transporter. Causing more dopamine to rise in the synapse generally. But the dopamine nuerons just "sit", this may be why this causes the zombie effect, there is not alot of impulse firing. This is the main reason why it is used for hyperactivity.

> Dexamphetamine both releases and blocks the reuptake of dopamine. THis is why it causes more impulse, but at low doses it has a similar zombie effect on me. 10-15MG. A more profound effect, such as feeling to do something intresting becuase dopamine firing is increased and levels are increased. The usall dose is 20-30mg in one dose in moderate cases.

yes sounds more favourable all round, id like to try it, should i quit the Ritalin you think? it does have some mood improvement, but causes isolating anti social tendencies, as many have noted,
