Oh. I see what you are saying. Good points.
When I first moved up from 150mg to 200mg, I felt it might have been the best decision because I entertained the possibility that things in the brain might have indeed changed. I was hoping, anyway. But as the days passed, I began to lose ground. I am functioning with the use of caffeine, which we know can be an effective stimulant. Of course, the effect is but transient over the course of a few hours (unlike an antidepressant). Actually, if I abstain for a few days to a week. I can get the stimulant effect to last for most of the day. Block those adenosine receptors!
Did you know that the main source of adenosine release in the brain is astrocyte glial cells and not neurons? The role of adenosine and its receptors are to produce sleep-pressure. Cool. Glial cells have been largely ignored. I think this has been a mistake. They act as their own signaling network.
