Thanks for the report, fb. So you're a dopamine responder? I remember reading past threads on babble discussing dopaminergic strategies so you might want to do a search if you haven't already. I really thought there were more drugs that addressed it. I do know that tyrosine and phenylalanine are the amino acid precursors. (I saw you were asking about DLPA in another thread. It's a form of phenylalanine that not only produces dopamine, but endorphins as well.) Mucuna pruriens is an herb that is also supposed to increase DA. (There are some anecdotal reports about it in the archives. As I recall, it can enhance one's sense of well-being.) Sorry I can't be of help with the med stuff. I'm sure others will be along soon to comment. Glad to hear your consult went more smoothly than Peanut's.
