If you don't mind my asking, I'm wondering how you know that you're a "nor-ephinephrine person." Trial and error with meds? Or do you have symptoms that point in that direction? I'm asking because I've been trying various SSRIs for a couple of years and have yet to get consistently good results. So I'm beginning to wonder if serotonin is really the problem.

That is what I indicated in my posts. The meds that work effect nor-E and the ones that just effect 5-ht don't. My depression takes the form
of mainly motivation and drive and less mood, which are thought to be nor-e issues.james

Thanks! Guess I was hoping there might be some info that could tell me if nor-E might be an issue for me, before I make another drug switch. Wishful thinking.
