hi mm..

thanks for your answer..

my worry was not so much that methylphenidate or similar meds are neurotoxic, I was just worrying whether they weren't basically supposed to make you feel good through its dopamine action, even if DA is not the actual origin of the depression.. I could imagine that increasing DA significantly might sort of "overshadow" the depression, without solving the actual biological issue.. and then I fear that one day it will stop working, but it will have significantly altered functioning of the DA circuits, thereby making the depression even worse.. I haven't found that much evidence for improvement of TRD with MTP, but I guess it is worth a try, that is right... thanks for that, I didn't think of it so far..
