I know it is not suppose to help your mood, but why might it worsen it when it is in the stimulaints class?I think phentermine works more on the hypothalamus than the other stimulants. Sometimes, more is less. As an example, increasing the activity at Brodman 25 produces depression while decreasing it acts as an antidepressant. This is how DBS works.
Looking at synaptic neurotransmitter levels is important. However, with the brain, it's location, location, location. The brain is a network of circuits and processors as well as a pool of neurochemicals.
