Jim, I'm new here too! :) And pretty much a neophyte when it comes to this brain mumbojumbo. I decided about a month ago that I really ought to understand this stuff better so I can play a more active role in my treatment. This place has been a great resource, the only drawback being that the info isn't really organized in a way that makes for systematic learning. To help with that, I bought myself a primer, called "Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, 3rd edition." It's a few chapters out of a larger volume on psychopharm. In hindsight, I wish I had gotten the whole thing, because some of what I've been reading is over my head so I wish I had the foundation provided by the first few chapters of the master volume. Oh well.
Anyway, according to Stahl, both dopamine and norepinephrine seem to be implicated in motivation, so more NE may not necessarily be a bad thing for Soonerbaby.
