The norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors did not work for me. Even Adderall caused strong adverse reactions due to the levoamphetamine. But pure dextroamphetamine, which is primarily a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, worked perfectly.
This does still result in more norepinephrine because dopamine is a precursor and dexedrine is also still a slight NRI afaik. But the difference between a little more and a lot more is huge I suppose.
Not to mention moving my body was never as much an issue as being unable to motivate myself to do things in the first place. I would cry over not being able to do the things I wanted. But no amount of wanting would let me do them. Even though I could easily get up and do anything else.
> Saying ADHD is just a dopamine deficiency is extremely reductive.
I only speak of my specific case of ADHD. I never said ADHD is a simple dopamine deficiency. ADHD can be caused by all sorts of things.
But since my specific case was quite dopamine-related, I feel qualified enough (with experience) to refute a comment claiming that there is no "dopamine system" at all.
