Dexadrine turned the lights on for me, and yes, with it all the color. After awhile, it wasn't quite enough. I've added on strattera--though I am having some difficulty with dosing and timing, it's helped my mood more than dex alone.
Ritalin doesn't work for everyone. That does not mean another stim won't. However, I'm not advocating for dex--it may not work out long run for me--but I wouldn't rule out the dopamine key quite yet.
Good luck to you,

> my pdoc and I did an experiment with 5 mgs ritalin twice a day and I noticed no mood boost. He wants me to try nefazodone, but first I tried 10 mgs in the morning all at once and notice no increase in mood or hedonia. I guess I was wrong that I'm dopamine deficient...
