> Well, as I implied, the dopaminergic (cocaine-like) stimulant on its own stopped working, although it did happen only after many years. So in that sense, it wasn't sustainable. I don't know if the combination with caffeine would also stop working with time. So the answer to your question is maybe -- I don't know.

I want to be able to "naturally" feel and function well, without drugs, and if I use them, I'm afraid I'll remain dependent on them indefinitely as a crutch. But can I afford to waste years of my life on remaining depressed when I know there are treatments that help?

>Hey UD,
I am sorry to hear you are hospitalized. :( But, it may be best for now. Have you ever tried any cholinergic stimulation? It may help re-sensitize your dopamine receptors. Plus, it's just good for brain health all around. (Not toooo much, though..like any neurochemical, you gotta be cautious, of course.)
Have you ever tried Lyrica? It's a pro-GABBA drug, but much unlike benzos, is not dulling or such. As well, how about a very small dose of a stimulant? Amphetamine, especially Vyvanse, is very, very smooth. Much moreso than Ritalin and it's siblings. I have been on Vyvanse since it came out in 2010 (or so)...and it works just as well as when I started it. Plus, it will pull you out of depression within a few days.
Best,
