I have been trying a few different stimulants for supposed ADD. They do seem to work for my attention, focus and slight depression. Plus, I don't have any anxiety on stimulants (weird).
But, I do notice irritation (too much dopamine?).
I have tried and failed Wellbutrin due to manic irritation.
I am wondering if I am missing something here.
The stimulants work, but am I depleting a chemical that my brain needs? Do I need to add something like Effexor?
I can't take SSRIs (side effects).
There is no doubt that I have some ADD, but I am also wondering how to deal/treat the irritation.
Is my brain missing serotonin? norepinephrine? getting too much dopamine? What?
