In reply to Which meds increase dopamine/energy?, posted by craig getty on August 5, 2004, at 23:04:03
I take welbutrin xl and have benefits, but wellbutrin sr did nothing. Wellbutrin increases dopamine and norepinephrine. The more wellbutrin I took persay 400 mg I was feeling speeded. We attributed it that i was receiving more benifits of norepinephrine then dopamine.
I tried provigal and concerta with no response. this last week we are trying dexedrine which is like Adderal from what i understand. The Concerta is a longer half life of the ritlan from what i understand. Concerta and dexedrine stimulate dopamine in different ways.
All of my ratings (wekly tests how i feel) indicate i need more dopamine. The research department is going to keep giving me dopamine stimulators until we are successful and my ratings improve.
my most lost time was either not giving certain meds a chance or giving the bad ones too long of a chance. its s fine line, but a very good p-doc IMO treats meds like a card game. He knows when to "hold em, knows went to fold em and walk away".
