how far everyone... am creating this thread here because of d no of viewers I'll get and d more d view, d high possibility of answers I'll get. This is a continuation thread from d previous one I created in health section.. (I know doctors are also here dats why)

https://www.nairaland.com/3562459/me-problem

After so many thinking and browsing online.. I av discovered d reason why I av been depressed lately and why I av lost my pleasure and enjoyment in doing things... including d inability to feel aroused when watching porn or feeling attracted to any female. I found out dat my dopamine level has decreased.. d chemical in d brain dats responsible for emotion, learning, focus and motivation... although I've checked for solutions to increase it back, they seem to be far from reach.. cos most of dem can only be seen abroad. dats why I want to ask d people in d house if you know of anything I can do to increase my dopamine and any supplement or drug I can take to stimulate it. I prefer a permanent solution also and natural solution cos most drugs can be addictive and last for some time. thanks.

(pls I nid answers so dat I can start d treatment now.. life is getting too boring for me and so many things are alredi running thru my mind)

as an industrial chemist, i'll advice you to forget the idea of purchasing dopamine in its pure and undiluted state due to so many reasons like due to its scarcity in nigeria it will probably cost you a fortune and again if you finally lay your hands on one, do you know the dossage you are to administer to yourself? instead you can simply consume foods rich in tyrosine to boost dopamine production. dopamine is synthesized from tyrosine. Certain foods that can help balance dopamine levels, includes:

Fish – Evidence suggest Omega 3 fats may be linked to dopamine production

Eggs – Contains tyrosine

Spirulina – Contains tyrosine

Red beets – Contain betaine, acting as an antidepressant, and tyrosine

Apples – Contain quercetin, to prevent neurodegeneration and boost dopamine

Kale – Rich in folate, to trigger dopamine production

Oregano Oil – Has promising effects on mood swings and cravings by increasing dopamine levels

Bananas – Including the amino acid tyrosine, which boosts dopamine

Strawberries and blueberries – Include tyrosine, like bananas

Green tea – Contains polyphenols, good for brain and heart function, as well as dopamine production

Herbs like ginkgo biloba, nettles, dandelion, and ginseng

Another solution for how to increase dopamine levels and flood your brain with this feel-good chemical is exercise. When you exercise, the cells in your brain (and the rest of your body) start firing, becoming more energized. You also produce more serotonin and dopamine—both crucial in mood elevation. Some credit these chemicals with what’s known as the “runner’s high”, common in endurance athletes. But we do know they make you feel good, and a sense of wellbeing and happiness can increase your physical health in turn.
