Problem with things like Wellbutrin is that they affect Noradrenaline more than dopamine.
Thats "good" for pharms and doctors because it has "low abuse potential" (God I hate that phrase!)
The reason that more dopermanagic therapies are not being brought out is simply politics, weired morality, and lazyness!
What we should do is form a group to do something about this!
Sorry if I sound angry, I am!
People are suffering needlessly, that makes me angry.
Doperminagic medications are not nessecerilly adictive.
There was a drug called Nomifensine which was very effective and inhibited dopermine re-uptake, but had little abuse potential.It was withdrawn because it could cause a blood disorder, nothing to do with abuse.
A dopermine re-uptake inhibitor Vanorexine is being developed, but it doesn't raise dopermine much, this is seen as an advarntage!
Here a ling anway

Sorry for Bad spelling and rant, I just feel there must be something we can do!
