message: I've corrected the following two errors:
* removed benzatropine from the list of DRIs. Benzatropine is an anticholinergic, it has nothing to do with dopamine and dopamine receptors. Its use in Parkison's and other movement disorders has to do with the balance of activity between cholinergic and dopaminergic components of the deep brain movement centers, but it has no effect on dopamine itself.
* added cocaine to the pharmaceutical agents; in the USA it is schedule II, not schedule I, and has important medical uses in ENT/OHNS surgery.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.67.18 (talk) 17:11, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Benzatropine/benztropine is a DRI, hence why I put it on the list: Source. And while cocaine is a pharmaceutical, it's primarily a street drug and its medical use is almost unheard of, so I think the illicit category would be more appropriate. Not to mention its DRI actions aren't actually related to its clinical use either. el3ctr0nika (Talk | Contribs) 09:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I tagged the link to physical dependence as dubious. To my knowledge, straight DRIs such as methylphenidate don't cause a lot of "physical dependence". This is partly a language issue: These drugs do cause homeostatic changes in the brain, but philosophy of the mind notwithstanding, I think that that's not usually what is meant by "physical dependence". In my book, "physical dependence" means that there are serious peripheral symptoms upon discontinuation.

thread_title:  Dubious 

message: ===Basic Outline===
List of DRI’s and Intro: will simply be edited according to our research findings, and addition DRI’s not listed will be added, and the current list verified. 
Process
This section will contain information about the biological processes induced by dopamine reuptake inhibitors. The process within the synapses will be covered, alone with any side effects, either long term or short term, as well as any effects caused by dopamine increase. 
History
	
This section will cover the history of the discovery and use of dopamine reuptake inhibitors. The development over the last half century of the targeting of transporters as a means of concentrating levels of neurotransmitters within the synapse will be discussed, as well as a general history of the drugs and their discoverers. 
Possible affects on cognition
This section will focus on the affects that DRI can have on emotion, as well as the possible side affects of DRI's. Another subject that this section will talk about is the controversy behind DRI's in drugs. This will touch on usage and abuse of DRI's. This section will also touch on the short term affects and the long term affects of DRI's.

message: *Group, I like your outline, but I don't see how you're going to be able to write this with primary sources as you've listed. Look for secondary sources such as books or review articles. Use a medically based database such as PubMed. I will also email this group a chapter on dopamine. It's a bit old, but it might be lead to other sources.

* There is a lot of research in this. Discuss current/future research.
* Add similar sections to those in Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
This is a good start...but needs a lot of expansion/sourcing.Smallman12q (talk) 22:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Smallman12q comments

message: It looks like there needs to be more sources that are actually contained within the article rather than just floating at the top. More sections should also be added to go into details about subjects raised in the introduction. I would agree with smallman12 that the article needs to be expanded and more effort needs to be put into finding sources.

message: *This is a good start, but I do feel that expansion will be needed. Look to expand on how synaptic cell signalling works and how active sites are affected.
*Your list of inhibitors are great, although it is assembled strangely. I would remove the bullet points without any information provided on them (there are a few in the list).
*More references are needed. This information is not common knowledge, so I would work on being sure you add the needed citations to your page.
*What research is being done working with DRI's? this would be an interesting section to add to your page.

message: Hi everybody! I just got a message from Prof. Lu asking if I could take a look at everybody's work, and I've got a few suggestions to help make your article even better. I'm going to organize them in a bullet pointed list just for your ease of use; if you have any questions or need some help, you can either ask here (I've watchlisted this talk page) or on my talk page. I'm happy to help with anything! =]
*You've got two inline citations at the very top of the article, before the text. Inline citations always go after the sentence(s) they cite so that the reader knows where the information they're reading has come from.
*That said, the first, second, and fourth paragraphs require inline citations to ensure verifiability. I'm assuming that information came from those first two citations, so it shouldn't be too hard to move them to where they should go.
*In the last paragraph, I think you meant to say "ginkgo biloba" - when I hear "ginkgo balboa" I think of Rocky's long-lost sibling. But I could be wrong! Just wanted to make sure.
*Instead of having a list of the different DRIs, I think you should make paragraphs. You could have a section each for "selective dopamine reuptake inhibitors", "DRIs with activity at other sites", "Other DRIs", "Natural dopaminergetics", and "Dopamine controlling drugs". That would be really helpful to the reader.
*Though I think the information in the notes at the bottom is useful, it needs to be incorporated better. Either you could make a section/paragraph out of that information or you could use <ref> tags to create a footnote. If you want help making a footnote, I'd be happy to help. :)

message: Group, you have added some good info on a tough topic. I'm going to email this group some readings that may help. Remember to refer to the selective serotonine reuptake inhibitor page for the type of info to add to your article. Note this article is dopamine reuptake inhibitor, not specific dopamine reuptake inhibitor. This means that you can include info on agents that inhibit both dopamine & norepinephrine. It will also be good to compare and contrast dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonine reupake inhibitors with the aim of clarifying specific effects of dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Note dopamine should not be capitalized unless it's the first word in a sentence. Keep up the good work! Neuropsychprof (talk) 08:12, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Instructor's feedback

message: Thanks to everyone who gave us suggestions to improve our article! While all of the suggestions were very helpful here is what we focused on:
*Grammatical errors, rewording of sentences out of essay format and more into wiki format.
*Add more wiki-links and fix citations.
*Work to improve organization of the article.
*Include expanding discussion of Bupropion and MDMA, giving both of these their own sections (and discussing some of the current research on them.)
*Adding a Society and Culture section and starting on a history topic (As similar to Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor article)
*Expanding the introduction about the subject.
*Incorporating the articles Dr. Lu sent us into our article on DRI's (added secondary sources.)
*Fixing the list of DRI's to make it a paragraph instead of list form, as suggested by Keilana.
Unfortunately, we were not able to get to everyone's feedback. Here are a few and the reasons why:
*Finding Future research on this subject was quite a challenge. The articles we found did not have a section on future research on the subject and it was incredibly challenging to find anything relevant on the internet about our subject that could be reliable.
*Current research on the subject is also hard to find on the broad subject of DRI's but we found some good research on MDMA's and Bupropion. 
*We did not compare and contrast dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonine reuptake inhibitors in our article due to lack of research on the subject.
Thanks to everyone for all your feedback and suggestions, it was very helpful! Best wishes. Daniadams9121 (talk) 19:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Changes based on Feedback and Feedback not addressed

message: I notice that one of the main sections of this article is on MDMA, and I find this peculiar. Firstly, because MDMA is primarily a releasing agent (rather than a reuptake inhibitor), and secondly because MDMA mainly acts on the serotonin system, although its effects on noradrenaline and dopamine are also important. There are much better examples of dopamine reuptake inhibitors than MDMA, such as methylphenidate, ethylphenidate, MDPV, pyrovalerone, and bupropion. If there is not a good reason to have this section, then I suggest that it should be removed. Woood (talk) 08:24, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why does this article have a section on MDMA? 

message: I'm concerned at the ambiguity of the definition.  It is my understanding that dopamine reuptake inhibitors must have a very low affinity for dopamine and norepinephrine, drugs with these characteristics are classified as SDRI and NDRI's respectively.  Wiki pages exist for them.
Additionally, the introduction is confusing, contradictory, and informal.
"Many physicians disagree with the information noted above that is biased against the use of DRIs and stimulants because of some potential of abuse."
This is a perfect example, I have absolutely no idea what it is meant to mean.
"To date, we know of no abuse of drugs such as Bupropion."
Incorrect, publicly available literature is found in the first link when searching google for "Bupropion abuse potential."
" Contrary to the writers opinion above..."
I doubt its necessary to explain why this paragraph needs to be edited.  The bias displayed in it is enough for me to have made my first addition to a Wikipedia page. 
"...the only norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) approved by the Food and Drug Administration."
Methylphenidate?
Regardless, I believe I've made my point, This article is probably not worth salvaging, perhaps it should be re-written from scratch?

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: All the information I've read indicates that modafinil (or at least R-modafinil; I've not seen much written about L-modafinil) acts as a reuptake inhibitor which is selective for DAT (unlike, say, cocaine, which significantly inhibits DAT, NET and SERT, or methyl/ethylphenidate, which significantly inhibits both DAT and NET). Ignoring the difference in half-life, (R-)/modafinil's binding profile seems to be more similar to amineptine's than anything else. IMHO, this ought to be reflected in this article. I'm aware that the armodafinil article claims that it has "effects and feelings consistent with methylphenidate", but I'm skeptical of that claim; it appears to be based on a single study, whereas many other studies have found that both in vitro and in vivo the drug binds nearly solely to the DAT, and even Wikipedia's own modafinil article states that "it was found to significantly affect only the dopamine transporter". --Mojace (talk) 13:21, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Modafinil is selective for DAT as opposed to NAT and SERT, yes, but modafinil is also claimed to be an agonist at alpha1B-adrenoceptors. -- Mentropane (talk) 20:47, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modafinil/armodafinil as a selective DRI 

message: It is my understanding that it is the fluorenol-derivative of modafinil that is a weak DAT-inhibitor, and not fluorenol itself.
