In reply to Wellbutrin: Norepinephrine vs. Dopamine / Amitript, posted by GOGO on August 27, 2007, at 4:29:16
Some comments:
Strattera + Wellbutrin sounds like hell. But I can't stand Strattera alone, so who knows. I'm not up to date on the current theory of Wellbutrin's mechanism, but I know from personal experience that it can cause quite a bit of anxiety/agitation in combination with other drugs that increase the release/prevent uptake of NE.
Amitryptiline affects a lot more than serotonin and norepinephrine.. I've never heard of anyone claiming that it offered a boost, quite the opposite.
Cymbalta or Effexor are probably better choices for balanced serotonin/norepinephrine effects. Provigil also might help; it helped me with energy and confidence for a little while. Ditto with EMSAM, Parnate and Adderall.
