I'm OK thank you.
The medication I take now is one that you don't have in the US, it's a atypical tryciclic: substance is "mianserine". It works only on NE (and not 5HT or DA). I wonder why you don't have this in US, because it's well known here (switzerland).
I don't know if I'm able to explain what "too high turover in DA and 5-HT" mean. That's what doctors said. And maybe my translation is not good, but it means that these two neurotransmitters are "destroyed" too fast in the sysnapse (connection between neurotransmitters) I think. And in consequence, the activity of DA and 5HT has to be increased, to compensate the loss. I hope you understand something because it's nor easy with these technical terms !
