I've been suffering of dysthymia for all my post-pubescent life and normal anti-depressants are only slightly effective in my case.
if we can measure mood on a scale from 1 to 5 where 3 is average and 2 is chronic depression/dysthymia, I'm normally 2 if I don't take anything and 2.5 if I take SSRI or SNRI like paroxetine or efexxor.
so I was looking for something that works more on the dopaminergic system rather than on serotonine like nootropics because that's apparently what's best for dysthymia. my question is: what is the best drug for mood lifting that gives you at least a normal/good and stable mood throughout the day without too much high and crashes? I was looking at all the alternatives on the market: ritalin, adderall, wellbutrin, modafinil, dexedrine, PEA/selegiline or anything else I don't know of.
