norephedrine, serotonin and dopamine. some medications only use serotonin like SSRI's such as prozac,lexapro,paxil etc and some medications are SNRI"S that work with both serotonin and norephedrine such as Effexor, Pristiq and cymbalta. And then there are medications that work only on norephedrine and dopamine such a welbutrin. Can anyone tell me the differences between those 3 neurotransmitters and how they all work to help ones depression and anxiety. Thank you

Here is a link to a website that will hopefully answer your questions.

This one seems to be a good one on how different medications work. I did not thouroughly read through it but just a skim seems to have some very good insight.

SoWhatIf, there is no need for responding with a flippant post like this to a serious question.

0124vtd, thank for your helpful link.

Flyer99 that may be your opinion.
I did not think it was flipant. Does she need you refereeing for her?
Appears you think so. Did you miss the mention of humor part. Anything else master?

If you have something to say to me please get it off your chest as we see your veins bulgeing.

Thank you 0124vtd for that link (-:

So here is another potentially flippant post. A sense of lightheartedness can sometimes actually work to relieve the underlying depression and anxiety.

I remember getting ephedrine for asthma attacks. This caused such shakiness I preferred to deal with the asthma myself. To this day I get attachs, have inhalers, etc. but refuse to take any of the stuff. Nor does asthma rule me.

Dopamines are the naturally good feelings nature extends to us if we just give it a chance. They are dulled and unable to function with artificial alternatives. The pharmas prefer it that way. A good run or any aerobic exercise will likely get them going naturally.

No I'm no chemist or pharmacist or brain expert or expert of any kind. Just sharing my experiences. Do check with the doctor.
