No. Bupropion (aka Wellbutrin) is known as an atypical antidepressant in that it prevents the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine (to a lesser extent). Typical tricyclic antidepressants only block reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. It's unique dopamine reuptake inhibition capability allows it to be used to treat nicotine addiction (marketed as Zyban) and, to some extent, attention deficit disorder. Furthermore, it lacks the classic three ring chemical structure of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs).

Here are a list of some common TCAs:

imipramine (tofranil)

amitriptyline (Elavil/Endep)

doxepin (adapin)

nortrypyline (Pamelor), etc

The SSRIs can be both CYP450 enzyme inhibitors AND inducers. Inhibitors inhibit the metabolism of drugs, causing the body to have increased levels of that drug. Inducers speed of the metabolism of a drug, causing the body to inactivate/eliminate to a further extent than it normally would. It depends on which SSRI you are talking about. They all have actions on various isoforms of CYP450, but the SSRIs which cause the greatest problems with inhibition/inducing are fluoxetine (Prozac) and paroxetine. (Paxil)

Feelings of "unreality" are often called "derealization," "depersonalization," or "dissociation." This can be caused by a number of things, including depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. A mental health professional can help determine the contributing factors and appropriate treatment. It can be helped. Although the list above are simply a list of "symptoms" inlcuding ncluding depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc., please keep in mind all that symptoms have a "cause" one cause that must be investigated and ruled out is tick borne diseases, including but not limited to Lyme Disease, Erhlichia, Bartonella, Babesia, Mycoplasma, Q-fever and others. Ticks, fleas and other insects are all thought to be carriers. Many ticks and fleas are they size of the period at the end of this sentence and more than half of all people diagnosed with tick borne diseases do not recall a bite. Since Lyme has become the fastest growing infectious disease in the U.S. is not recognized by most doctor's, as the symptoms are vast and wide and it is thought by Lyme literate Md's that any and all psychiatric symptoms could be the root cause. Since mainstream lab testing used nationwide for Lyme Disease is not "diagnostic" by admission of the creator's of the test (Center for Disease Control) and Md's in all fields of medicine are not trained to recognize these diseases. A person experiencing these symptoms should visit Lyme Disease support forums and and ask for a referral to a Lyme Literate Md in their area. Blood testing is useless unless the sample is sent to a tick borne specialty lab, there are only a few across the U.S. the best known being Igenex. These disease can be misdiagnosed from anxiety disorders, mental illnesses of all kinds and simply must be further investigated for the cause and wise place to start is with tick borne pathogens. Symptoms list and information can be found at the following reputable websites: http://www.ilads.org/PsychiatristBrochure.pdf http://www.canlyme.com/patsymptoms.html http://www.ilads.org/basic.html http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/ http://www.truthaboutlymedisease.com/ http://www.lymeinfo.net/ A search at you tube for Lyme disease is also helpful as in the link here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQINypsf7g Lastly, it is been suggested and unlikely that the cause of these symptoms can be caused by the fluoroquinolone antibiotic group, cipro, levaquin and others. Although there are people that swear this is at the cause of their symptoms, many Md's do not find it likely and a long standing bacterial infection is more likely the root cause.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 11-87 SPORTSMAN WITH THE CANTILEVERED SLUG BARREL,IT'S THE SAME GUN AS THE PREMIER EXCEPT MATTE BLACK AND ABOUT 100 BUCKS LESS. I AM SET UP WITH A NIKON PROSTAFF 2-7X SCOPE. ONCE I GOT ON THE PAPER AT 50 YARDS, I WAS ABLE TO DIAL IN FOR A DELIBERATE 1.5" HIGH HIT USING THE LIGHTFIELD HYBRID EXP 2 3/4" SABOT.I THEN PUT 1 MORE ROUND WITHIN A 1/2 INCH OF IT. AT 100 YARDS I HAD AN OFFICIAL 100 YD. MILITARY STYLE TARGET WITH A 6" BULL. ASSUMING THAT I WOULD HIT LOW,I HELD ON AT 12 O'CLOCK AND HIT 1" TO THE LEFT AND ABOUT A 1/2" LOW. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY BENCHED AND WITH THE MOST DELICATE SQUEEZE I COULD MUSTER.I THEN DECIDED TO HOLD ON THE CENTER AND SEE WHERE IT WOULD HIT SINCE I WAS SO CLOSE TO MY POINT OF AIM ON THE FIRST SHOT. TO MY AMAZEMENT I TOOK THE X OUT OF THE CENTER.FURTHER SHOOTING REVEALED THE SLUG GUN I ALWAYS WANTED,VERY ACCURATE. ENJOY IT, I LOVE MINE.

The solubility of oxides and other ceramic powders depends on what the solution and solvent should be. Temperature is also important. For example one definition of glass says that it is solid solution of natrium oxide, kalium oxide and silicium oxide. many kinds of steel are similarly defined as "interstitial solid solution of carbon in alpha-iron", etc.

As for the solubility of metal oxides in water, it is close to zero. The same for alcohols, ethers, alkanes, etc. The usual way of getting metal oxides into liquids is to mix suspension so fine that the powder will be hard to separate due to the brownian motion and such. Today you may order nano-powder as well.

Now to the point why somebody asked this: the cerium oxide is inert. The point when it becomes interesting is at higher temperatures when it can oxidize carbon for example at temperature much lower than the carbon will usually burn. Another useful property is that it will reduce nitrogen oxides and take the oxygen to form its ceric oxide state. This is used in car catalysts due to good efficiency and favorable price. Yet another use - which can be derived from wikipedia information already is chemical reaction with laughing gas - N2O to form really strong, orange oxidiser (forgot the name). I plan to test it in a rocket engine fuel soon.

Just to note - many combustion processes, whether in furnace, cars, rockets can not be enhanced, taken more power from them, because of the limited speed of reaction. That is where catalysts take place. Ceric oxide can act as a catalyst. When reacted with certain nitrous oxides it can take form of another chemical composition which acts as a strong oxidiser potentially increasing the speed of the reaction even further.

The maximum surface area of ceric oxide nano-powders ranges from 35-70 square meters per gram of the powder. Ordinary polishing powders do not have such large surface area since they are aimed for polishing, not as a catalyst.

Acute alcohol intoxication is result of widespread changes in brain metabolism. The greater the amount of alcohol the greater the affect on your brain. One of the mechanisms by which alcohol lowers brain metabolism is via its interaction with GABA receptors. GABA receptors are an inhibitory class of receptors whose function is to reduce the activity of neurons. Many drugs used in the treatment of anxiety also work by this mechanism. Because GABA receptors are ubiquitously expressed, this explains the variety of behavioral changes ensue during inebriation; such as decreased attention span (frontal cortex), slurred speech (motor cortex/cerebellum), social disinhibition and sensations of wellbeing (limbic areas), blurry vision (vestibular-ocular reflex deficits), and poor balance control (vestibular function).

The S stands for serotonin and the N stands for norepinephrine and RI stands for reuptake inhibitor. So, obviously these drugs are supposed to work on both serotonin and norepinephrine. However, some literature uses SNRI to mean Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor, and this will work better on norepinephrine. Then you have the SSRI which is Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, which works better on serotonin.
