> How could I restore my dopamine to normal levels? This is like living a nightmare. I'm constantly losing jobs, staying away from people and living a miserable existence because of how angry, annoyed and anxious I feel all the time. And none of the antidepressants I've tried have helped with these problems.

Let's not concentrate too much on your friend and his withdrawal. What medications have you tried and did the doctors give you a diagnosis? It sounds like you may have a pretty severe case of social and generalized anxiety. The purely dopamine meds I have taken in the past have added to these problems in myself. I take the MAOI-Nardil and the benzo-clonazepam. The combination of these two drugs really help with the social anxiety. I believe this is because they both work on gaba. In my opinion, Nardil is the gold standard if your depression is atypical and treatment resistant.
Good luck,
Jedi
