lunesta, do you mean coffee/caffeine when you say this?

> doesnt work via dopamine @ all

Can you say what you mean or what you're referencing? Thanks.

Caffeine unquestionably involves dopamine; its antidepressant effect is most likely tied to DA release in the prefrontal cortex. And the fact that caffeine blocks adenosine doesn't mean that caffeine doesn't also "work via" DA. (Caffeine doesn't necessarily "reduce" adenosine, as you say; it just acts as a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist.)
