We tend to speculate on issues having origins with this or that nuero-transmitter system, and this leaves the risk for failed experimentation. It is not just this forum only, just randomized general internet information.
For example, I took 400 MG of DLPA yesterday (Phenylalanine) because I thought Dopamine issues are behind why I am not driven, abusing alcohol, or not goal oriented, etc. Turns out, same result from Tyrosine a while back when I tried that. Severe internal agitation, and inability to focus on anything other than agitation. Not a nice feeling at all. So is it safe to say I may not have a Dopamine issue ? Also, increasing Dopamine will lower Serotonin, but then what....try Tryptophan ? That worked at one time in my life, but then can cause spaciness and severe anxiety. I do not want to risk that happening. Maybe this is my baseline, and I should just accept that no augmentation will give me the edge in life I am looking for.....
