I think you're right on this. Now if they could just come up with a stop smoking/ depression med that increases dopamine but doesn't raise NE levels, we'll all be set!
> I came on today to ask this exact question because I read an article that stated that increasing norepinephrine increases anxiety, or at least is not good for panic sufferers. I was wondering if maybe the reason Wellbutrin is helpful yet causes anxiety is because it increases Dopamine (helpful) but also Norepinephrine (anxiety)... Nicotine/smoking increases dopamine too, er I think?, so that might be why Wellbutrin can be helpful for quitting smoking? And why so many people smoke when anxious?
