Hey guys wait for a minute & think for a while, do all of us really wants some long term cure which have some long lasting effect or a temporary relief at the moment. I assume that we are all suffering from this deficiency for a long time, which is atleast one or two years, in which we can’t notice about the gradual depletion of dopamine because of our dietary behaviour in our busy days, it had made some changes in our brain.Hence it cant be set right in a moment and also attempting for that is dangerous for our system. if this is clear fact, we should understand that we should wait for some time to get the results, which is more stable in the long run. Taking natural or synthetic supplements is your choice, but you should consistent in the fact that we are aiming for a long term results and it will not show a big results in very short period. here important points are you should not overload , but taking a mild dosage , which will not disturb or alters your brain’s homeostasis, if it affects it purely gives addiction on that supplement. so, please bear in mind that 1, too much of anything is good for nothing. 2,slow and steady will surely wins the race,. so, be patient & consistent in achieving your goal.

Donna… have the dopamine supplements helped your restless leg at all? I, too, have restless leg syndrome and take requip. I hate the drug because once I take it my evening is pretty much over. Thanks—joe

Thanks for the info. I have Restless Leg Syndrome and I have to take Mirapex for Dopamine. I hate taking it, but I can’t sit down or sleep without it. I have had to take it for about 12 yrs. I wish I could get enough dopamine for supplements. I am gonna try the L-Tyrosine and Phenylalanine.

Perhaps this is why I gobble up dark chocolate by the mitt full. I was placed on an antipscyhotic of which I fought against for some time and am now off. Some doctor thought I was psychotic. I’m sure it messed me up royally. I believe I had a combination of anxiety, depression, and ADD as a kid, and feel as a 45 year old, like I did as a kid. Hurump or however the word goes. But I sure was relaxed and still sort of hyper at the same time. Any explanations?

After doing a google search, DL-Phenylalanine does not seem safe to take; I am a little worried.

I know this is an old post but I think I need to take supplements for Dopamine but after reading this quote I am unsure…
“However, a dopamine increase can lead to side effects to including the propensity to have an addictive behavior. People with high levels of the hormone dopamine in the brain, and low sensitivity to it, tend to be greater risk takers and may be more prone to addictive behavior, drug abuse and gambling. “
