(I may just be talking out of my a** but) for another example, in school, I am able to get things done often, but in the summer I get really depressed because I realize that I don't know what it all means. I mean I am doing it and I can remember the steps (catecholamines) but I really don't know what it means, and that makes me depressed, and worried about future years.When I took the clomipramine, I though a *lot* less about what it all meant, and just *did it*. Initially that may make it seem like a smart drug in that I can get things done, but it may be a dumb drug in that I may be more disposed to future failure because I am not seeing the whole picture, (cholinergic axis?)
Boosting noradrenergic function shifts the ballance from cholinergic to noradrenergic, (ie more doing and less reflecting.)
Just a thought.
