In reply to are there any pure dopamine reuptake inhibitors?, posted by Michael Bell on March 25, 2009, at 16:38:19
What about using something to increase L-dopa or dopamine specifically...easy to obtain substance for this in the usa is dopa bean (Mucuna pruriens or "velvet bean" as it's called)...or hell even just straight up L-tyrosine or phenylalanine. These will increase L-dopa then dopamine then you could add an inhibitor to prevent/slow NE synthesis from dopamine. I'm not sure what to use yet, I havent thought about this approach. I know natural decarboxylase inhibitors like EGCG (needs cofactor vitamin B6) in green tea extract will inhibit the formation of dopamine from L-dopa. So there must be an inhibitor to block the pathway inbetween dopamine and norepinephrine. Research a lil?
