Hey Wanderer123,
I just wanted to say I'm in the same boat as you. I have been off Prozac for 6 years and have low dopaminergic symptoms ie, anhedonia, poor concentration, poor memory, low motivation, feeling tired during the day.
I am also looking at ways to boost dopamine. I've tried natural methods(L-tyrosine, mucana puriens, NADH, ginseng) but none of them worked very well. Even exercise is starting to fail me.
I may try the low dose prozac as brainbeard suggested. I just recently took Lexapro though and even at a low dose of 5mgs it made me kinda spacey and slightly out of it. Hopefully low dose prozac wouldn't do this. Maybe I could take the 5 mg half tablet every other day?
If that doesn't work I'll try a stimulant or both, if I can get a script.
