And as far as nutrion, also made sure you're getting a couple thousand IUs of vitamin D3 a day.

I think AMP and DRIs have opposite effects on dopamine transport expression, so if AMP isn't working, it might mean MPD woudl work well now, at least till your brain changes back. This is a memory i have, heres a study saying cocaine works that way vs AMP, but mpd is pretty similar to cocaine, so something to look into.

I was in school but had to drop out for obvious reasons. However, I still study pharmacology during my own time.
