Also amineptine is very short acting so it could leave you depleted after it wheres off, it has a short half life. Also adderall increases norepinephrine more than dopamine, so wellbutrin would help keep norepinephrine stores elevated for awhile as well. Also amineptine is really expensive as you know.
What happens with drugs that increase neurotransmitters is that receptors decrease in response to increased ligands. They start go back into the cell to prevent overstimulation. Over time the receptors will come back once the drug has been stopped and neurotransmitters decrease. It is, unfortunately unavoidable, but it is what the body must do to achieve balance.
