In reply to are there any pure dopamine reuptake inhibitors?, posted by Michael Bell on March 25, 2009, at 16:38:19
Thanks for all the replies. As some of you pointed out, there do not seem to be any substances that specifically affect reuptake of dopamine, as the ones that are out there tend to affect reuptake and release of norepinephrine as well (i.e. stimulants, wellbutrin). My personal feeling is that a substance, or a combo of substances, that affect only serotonin and dopamine reuptake, will be quite effective for social phobia. Unfortunately, all we have are SSRIs, SNRIs, and triple reuptake inhibitors, but none that affect just dopamine or just dopamine and serotonin. Guess I'll have to check out various herbs and supplements to see what is out there.
