I seem to recall amphetamines dopamine/norepinephrine (but not serotonin), while ritalin just affects either dopamine or norepinephrine-I think norepinephrine, but don't remember for sure. In any case, I do feel that ritalin feels very different from the other two. The more I think it over, the more I believe it's the one most likely to get me feeling jangely, driven, or fixated at higher doses. I think all three that you are asking about work by squirting out neurotransmittors rather than damning them up. I also understand that's why one must take breaks with them, so that the brain can replenish. There was a thread recently which in part addressed this question of mechanism- the one about preventing tolerance to stimulants.


> I am wondering. How do the stimulants differ from each other in terms of mechanism? For example, does one affect ? Does another one affect serotonin? Which one is just a reuptake inhibitor? Which one is a neurotransmitter releaser and uptake inhibitor? I seem to do best with things that squirt out more neurotransmitters rather than damming them up, so I'm interested in that particular mechanism.
