Thank you all for your posts. Interesting stuff.

Yeah, if I used a dopamine agonist it would be in combo with an ssri.

The opioid connection is interesting. Buspar is out...increases tinnitus unbelievable.

The mention of Stablon was especially interesting. I feel the best shortly after I decrease a dose of an antidepressant, but it only lasts a couple days. Pretty predictable pattern though. It's like an ssri is a dam that produces a large stationary pool of neuros, but with little flow...drop the dose and it's like opening up the dam a little bit creating some flow. Tianeptine could work that way. No prob getting a precription for it.

For now, just on day two of switching from lexapro which was aweful to zoloft, I'm kind of liking it. Zoloft feels more dopaminergic to me than serotonergic. We'll see where it goes.

Great ideas and I appreciate it. Thanks all.
