We know the brain is always trying to find a stasis which is why we build tolerance to caffeine, alcohol, etc. If that is the case, how would it be possible for any external medication to come in and fix your brain chemistry without creating a tolerance. Are people with imbalance disorders doomed to always ride a rollercoaster of tolerance building and detoxing. For example, wouldn’t any attempt to increase dopamine levels in people with ADHD just cause the brain to eventually bring the new levels back down to the disordered levels?

A lot of people have provided adequate responses. I just wanted to add once you find the “magic dose” it rarely works long term. The brain adapts and over time there is a need to change dosages or medications.
