> I really agree with Old School's idea about dopamine depletion. Dopamine seems to be at the root of the changing face of depression over the years (especially after AD treatment) in depressed people. For me, I find that something that boosts my dopamine levels (or whatever it does to change their expression) works much better in me now than any simple AD.
==================================================
This really begs a big question for me. If this is even remotely possible, then why in the f%#$ aren't the researchers doing studies on this? If they've done studies on this and come to positive conclusions about it, then how come it seems like pdocs in general don't know it? They just keep banging away with SSRIs, and occasionally norepinephrine. Our tools for enhancing dopamine are pathetically limited.
