>I would like to see ads developed that work on se,ne and dopamine. I would like to see more maois developed. What is the ratio of neurotransmitters to each other in the brains of undepressed or normal people. If we're going to develope drugs based on the neurotransmitter theory than develope drugs that restore the proper balance of all the neurotransmitters. The current ssris drive down dopamine and lower sex hormones. That is not what an ad should be doing. Develope drugs to augment ssris so dopamine is restored and sex drive left intact.
As far as natural substances go they cannot be patented so Pharm companies have no interest in them. I guess they would have to extract the alkaloids and patent some drug that has a powerful extract.
These companies will suppress any drug that's better than their drug in the name of profits. That's why some of the dopamine enhancing ad drugs have been banned.
There are some good herbal places on the internet that have some really good herbs. You just have to look around.
