I couldn't copy and paste this because my tablet computer won't let me copy from certain websites.
But I believe that even though dopamine increasing meds and serotinin increasing have very different effects on the emotions, they can often to the same basic end result when treating depression.
For example, the first med I was ever prescribed was adderall. Immediately I felt way more in touch with people and the world
around me. My thoughts were much louder and it seemed if I looked someone in their eyes I could hear their thoughts in my head. It was so cool. And I was just able to make so much sense out of the way people acted. This led to a great reduction in anxiety.On the other hand, when I took prozac it made me feel a bit less in touch with people and the world and my emotions. Thisalso decreased my anxiety, but not as much as adderall.
