Re: Dopamine Pathways Implicated in Adult Add Adhd

But, how would stimulants ameleorate this?

Stimulants typically lower the levels of DAT and the expression of post synaptic dopamine recpetors.

It seems to me that an AD would be better at fixing these abnormalities. SSRI's typically increase the expression of DAT and increase the sensitivity / responsiveness of mesolimbic dopamine recpetors.
