I don't think so...then Wellbutrin would be the best AD on the face of the earth, because it is directed towards dopamine. Monoamino oxidase may itself just be important to target; but actually no ones know FOR SURE why any of the AD's work-remember when the criticism of TCA's was that they influenced more than one neurotransmitter and were therefore "dirty" and SSRI's were serotonin-selective and so much better? Now we have Cymbalta, etc. that target more than one neurotransmitter (SSNRI) and are the "newest" thing. Remember how Xanax was synthesized to have a short half-life because it was believed that the long half-life of Valium in the body caused dependence? And Xanax is probably the hardest benzo to withdraw from? I think finding the right meds is like finding what flavor jelly bean you like: there is no good theory, you just make reasonable choices until you find the right jellybean or decide jellybeans aren't for you. Or maybe it's all just magic.:>}
