Re: Has anyone here had luck raising dopamine naturally?

[Guest guest]

Wellbutrin doesn't increase dopamine in humans. It increases norepinephrine. Norepinephrine provides energy but too much norepinephrine causes anxiety and even panic attacks.

See posts by Dr no (aka marianco) in this thread, especially #7:

A more mild, natural and safer way to increase norepinephrine and dopamine is by taking the amino acid L-Tyrosine.

You can naturally increas dopamine by taking amino acid precursors such as

l-tyrosine and/or mucuna pruriens. As with increasing serotonin can reduce

dopamine, you have to be cautious not to end up reducing serotonin too much by

increasing dopamine too much. The two both need to be balanced at the same

time.
