> I didn't really think there was anything wrong with mercury fillings.Don't get me started about amalgam fillings. Suffice it to say that mercury is about the strongest neurotoxin (brain-cell destroyer) on the planet, and mercury release from amalgam fillings is the no. 1 source of mercury in our bodies, much more so than eating fish. Mercury vapours are being released when people with amalgam fillings chew, brush their teeth, drink hot liquors, etc. When an amalgam filling is being drilled in, massive amounts of mercury vapour are being released, inhaled by both patient and dentist. In Sweden, amalgam fillings have been prohibited by national law. It's only a matter of time to see what a big mistake amalgam fillings have been. You could compare it to asbestos. Like I said, don't get me started..
> You might be right about the noradrenic effect, but nortryptaline is supposed to be good for treating tinnitus and that increase NA.
Most meds that help with tinnitus also cause tinnitus, so their help is probably not so much physical as psychological - i.e., when depression and negative focus lift, tinnitus subjectively gets a lot better.
> It stinks that Prozac and Wellbutrin seem to increase NA before DA, since I don't think I need much NA and they seem to hit with side effects. I'd rather not have to take an addictive drug if I can avoid it.Yeah, most dopaminergic drugs around are crappy, and the street alternatives are only slightly better for your brain than mercury.
