> ToddThanks very much for the info. I didn't realize that ephedrine hit the noradgrenergic system. I'll definitely look into that. It also makes me even MORE curious about why Wellbutrin and cocaine both had no positive effect since they also hit the noradgrenergic system (altho obviously differently and with a mix of dopamine). I'm really seeking an understanding of what is going on in my head. Self-knowledge if you will. My reactions to drugs are clearly WAY outside the mainstream. It almost as if the dopamine system (or some other important piece) was removed from my brain. Weird.
