> Psychostimulants (adderall.dextroamphetamine,ritalin) typically increase dopamine levels;however there is a danger of addiction.
> Try adding some of the neuromodulators(Piracetam,Aniracetam,Pramiracetam)along with centrophenoxime.
> Supplements that are known to increase dopamine are L-Thyrosine ,NADH,L-theanine,
> CDP-Choline,yohimbine,Phophatidylserine.
>
> Selegiline 5mg twice a day prevents the breakdown of dopamine but BEWARE ADVERSE INTERACTIONS with drugs or foods.
> I have dysthymia,but what works for me may not work for you,due to biological variation.
> Here is what works for me:
> Selegiline 15 mg before breakfast
> Provigil 200 mg before breakdast
> NADH 5 mg before breakfast
> Piracetam 1600 mg twice a day
> Aniracetam 750mg twice a day
> Centrophenoxine 3 a day
> L-theanine 600 mg a day
> Yohimbine 5 mg a day
> Picamillon 3 a day
> MethylPhenidate 20 mg if I feel sleepy in the afternoon
> Alprazolam 1 mg at bedtime
>
> Pramiracetam helps against apathy but is currently unavailable for the most part.
> (I don't take thyrosine because of a strong history of prostate cancer in my family;induction of thyroxine hydroxylase may promote cancer growth)
> I also avoid excess carbs because a high carb diet promotes increased serotonin
> This is a high power dopamine regimen;I know I am taking too much if I start talking too much(I am naturally a very quiet guy).
> In spite of all that Dopamine I still have difficulty with boring daily chores such as cleaning or doing dishes.Pramiracetam seems to be the only thing that helps me with those but I am out of PramiracetamI take Ritalin. It is the only thing that gets me motivated to get out of bed in the morning. It does little else but make me talk incessantly. I would not say it much for mood. I have no energy or motivation to do everyday chores like ckeaning or doing dishes. They generally do not get done. Someone comes to do them for me every once in a while. I hate the mess.
Any suggestions?
