Q:
I have been on antidepressants for a long time - I have tried almost all of them. Right now I am on Cymbalta (90mg), which I know is a serotonin, norepinepharin drug and Zoloft (150mg) which I know is a serotonin drug. I have been on these for some time and have not seen much relief. I know that it is also believed that dopamine also effects depression and I am wondering what drugs effect dopamine. I have been on wellbutrin, which I know effects dopamine, but I had a lot of side effects that made it unbearable. Are there other dopamine drugs? Thanks
A:
You may want to consider Effexor, which is another "mixed" action medication, but the best option is to sit with a psychiatrist and review your history, your medication experience and side effects. There are different combinations that might give you better relief.
