I agree with the adverse effects on dopamine from SSRIs, becuase it happened to me. I got worse from SSRIs in terms of motivation.
But I quit ssris and have been taking d- amphetamine, and it isn't doing it for me. It helps with motivation, but I still have the depression as well. It's not working as good as it used to, even for the motivation, but it never worked 100% of the time anyway. I guess it can be more complicated than just dopamine deficiency. I'm just about ready to try a MAOI.
