Does Adderall work on the same dopamine receptors as EMSAM/Selegiline? Whenever I take Adderall it does not produce any significant changes in my motivation, anhedonia, or flat mood. I was just prescribed EMSAM and I imagine that if Adderall gives me no motivational effect, neither will EMSAM, since both are said to work on dopamine. Am I just wasting my time trying EMSAM?

In reply to EMSAM/Selegiline vs. Adderall? Dopamine levels?, posted by Economist on March 13, 2010, at 18:13:06
same receptors, but the way they do it is different. how much is released at time, how long high levels stay, how long low levels stay, what the level is after no firing, etc.
