Thats a VERY hard question. There are so many different NT sites that it makes it all very confusing.
If I was on NO meds & taking large doses of L-tryptophan I'd say serotonin is my fave. 5g will tire me for 2 hours, followed by 4-6 hours of pure euphoria. But I HATE SSRIs.
I NEED a noradrenergic med just to get outa bed in the mornings, & NA/NE has an excellent 'get up & go' feeling. But on its own too much makes me anxious.
GABA - I like this one but it has obvious potential problems.
Dopamine I love...& hate LOL. You go up, you come down.
Adrenalin - nothing like a good old POSITIVE adrenalin rush, but no-one likes the feeling of pure terror or panic attacks!So I have to say ALL OF THEM IN BALANCE! Sorry to be awkward! :)
