I have diagnosed depression and anxiety, but I'm sensitive to monoamine neurotransmitters.

What to do? Stimulants, antidepressants just give me agression/impulsivity, anxiety/fear and low or too high of a mood, almost like mania. I've used stimulants a lot lately recretionally maybe they've altered my brain, but now I'm off of them and I've noticed that even a cigarette gives me anxiety recently. Mdma and antidepressants can easily give me symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Only one medication that kinda helps me are benzos, but I don't think they boost or block anything, haven't read almost nothing about them.

I meant MAIOs, SSRIs and SNRIs on my title lol.

I've been on many antidepressants before I even used any stimulants, but they didn't help escitalopram, venlafaxine (wouldn't recommend) and bupropion/wellbutrin.
