In reply to why not dopamine for depression?, posted by Sleepless in the ATL on November 8, 2004, at 20:04:23
> I am trying to figure out why more antidepressants are not made to effect dopamine. Wellbutrin worked great for me but caused hair loss so I had to quit taking it. It's the only anti-depressant that I have found that works on dopamine. Also dopamine "enhancers" increase sex drive which I would think would be quite appealing for those of us tired of meds that kill it. Sometimes I wonder if the FDA doesn't really want us to feel that great, just complacent, good enough to get by and not complain. I have reason to believe from past chemicals I've ingested that my seratonin receptors may be a bit weak and I also have reason to believe that my dopamine receptors are very effective at relieving depression, increasing sex drive, and increasing interest in daily activities. Anyone got any suggestions?
I not know reason for USA but for Israel, many medications in development that work on dopamine. Recently, Israeli soldiers with PTSD are allowed to smoke cannabis. We like the good life in Israel, dopamine not a bad thing.Shalom
