Hi BarbaraCat,
Maybe it's because it's just prior to that time of the month for me to be knit-picky, but I wanted to add that yes, Wellbutrin is related to phenylethylamine, as is Effexor, as well as the street drug MDMA.
This is from the Rxlist:
Bupropion HCl, an antidepressant of the aminoketone class and a non-nicotine
aid to smoking cessation, is chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic,
selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, or other known antidepressant agents. Its
structure closely resembles that of diethylpropion; it is related to
phenylethylamines. It is designated as
(±)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-1-propanone
hydrochloride.Venlafaxine hydrochloride is a structurally novel antidepressant for oral
administration. It is designated (R/S)-1-[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(4
methoxyphenyl)ethyl] cyclohexanol hydrochloride or (±)-1-[a
[(dimethylamino)methyl] p-methoxybenzyl] cyclohexanol hydrochloride.I thought I was the only one that ate chocolate chips from the bag. I love Belgian Chocolate Chips by Private Selection from Kroger. I think part of the pleasure is in the mouth feel - thems pure extacy!
Take care, Fuscia
