Don't know what to think

How will raising her levels dispel the pink fog? If anything it could make it worse, she becomes more happy so pink fog is increased...and yeah I know about serotnin levels as I take SJW to keep my levels level.

I did some searching on this site.

See, and this post on Wellbutrin, which raises both serotonin and dopamine, increased the desire for cding. Most antidepressants just raise serotonin.

I suspect high dopamine might contribute to the pink fog.

On the other hand, this is the wrong approach for JoAnne since she's already taking antidepressants.

It might be that her various antidepressants are interacting to make things worse than they should be? Obviously therapy would be helpful, but the doctor should check to make sure the meds are in balance. Especially if any of the meds are raising her dopamine level, like if she's on Wellbutrin. :2c:

I'm not a doctor, I'm not prescribing from the backseat, but physiology does affect thoughts and vice versa.

BTW, I'm very pro-pink-fog--I live in one myself, or more like a purple fog. My dopamine levels are sky high. Not saying I'm against pink fog at all! Just that sometimes life and pink fog can be at odds, and I've learned over the years how to dispel the fog in an emergency.
