KS,
I've had a hard time in the past trying to recover emotions that became blunted on AD's. I went through all of the stimulating types including Adderall and Ritalin with no luck. Going on the Dopamine theories I started Mirapex 3 months ago and it has been great. I have many of my old emotions back and can function on a daily basis. I would say that it is definitely worth looking into. I take it in addition to Nortriptyline and Zyprexa.
Willow,
TCA's are TriCyclic Antidepressants. They are the older family of AD's and include most of the meds that end in -ine (amitriptyline, Immiprimine, Nortriptyline, etc as well as some others). There are many people like myself who don't react to the SSRI's and find hope in the older TCA's.
