Re. dopamine. Anyone know what pharmacy 'buy over the counter' medicines release extra dopamine?


I am trying to increase significantly my motivation levels. I understand that dopamine is the main chemical that gives us please for day to day life. I feel that I lack in dopamine release. i would like legal solutions to vastly improve my quality of life. Please also provide sources if possible. Thank you for your time.

Before you start off check out this book:
The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the Balanced Brain Advantage by Eric R. Braverman. (He's a doctor)
The author has a complete questionnaire that helps you pinpoint which of the four main neuro chemicals you lack: serotonin, dopamine, GABA or acytlcholine. Then he tells you how to increase (nutritional, exercises etc.) Better than just blindly going at it. By the way listening to music you love is a possible dopamine enhancer. Invest in some new tunes maybe. It can't hurt.
Good luck!

There's no such OTC medicines. Any medicine whose main purpose is to change mood is prescription.
The most population depression medications actually stop serotonin reuptake.

*Physically fatigued easily
*Sleep too much and trouble getting out of bed
*Reduced ability to feel pleasure

*Depressed

*Shy/introvert
*Mentally fatigued easily
*Difficulty paying attention and concentrating
*Slow thinker and/or slow to learn new ideas
*Put on weight easily

Still think you have a dopamine problem? See your GP. They can do a urinary test to test your dopamine levels.
