Dopamine / stimulant questions...

Posted by TrishP on March 15, 2006, at 9:30:18

Here's what I know. SSRIs make me hypomanic.

I've done well on Wellbutrin in the past, but it made me irritable (I've tried all doses).

I do well on prescription diet pills (phentermine) amphetamines.

I've tried Provigil, but I feel awake and sleepy at the same time - weird.

Is there any other drug like Wellbutrin or good old fashion amphetamines that will make me feel alive, awake, alert and focused without the irritability of Wellbutrin?

I've tried adding Buspar - but it is like SSRIs in that it makes me carb hungry.

I feel like I am going to be self-medicating with amphetamines during the day and Klonopin at night to sleep.

I'm guessing that amphetamines and Wellbutrin both effect dopamine? Are there any other drugs that effect dopamine?
