A member asked:
Help! dr tapered me off zyprexa (olanzapine) and adderall too quickly due to worse depression.? day 23 severe wd. took 5mg of adderall helped. dopamine depletion?

Unlikely: Dopamine depletion is a relic of the 1980's. Much too simplistic an answer as synaptic neurotransmission is only one part of the story as we now know (i.e. CREP, epigenetics, non-synaptic neurotransmission, etc). Taking Adderall and Zyprexa (olanzapine) together makes me wonder what you are being treated for and by whom.
