Hello.

If substances or supplement that act on the gaba system make me very dull emotionally, does that mean i need more dopamine? I know those too systems are closely linked.

Things that had that effect on me are L-theanine, phenibut, alcohol..

My logic behind this is that those substances should make me more outgoing, more relaxed but they have the opposite effect on me :)

Thanks!

Those things only tend to work for me when I have energy. Otherwise they will put me to sleep or are useless anyway.

It is definitely related to dopamine.

If you have ever experienced the feeling of being on cocaine: You feel amazing, fearless, can talk to anyone about anything, really good with girls etc. (not recommending or condoning).

Then in normal state you are the opposite? Probably a dopamine issue.

Quitting porn is highly recommended for this. I don't know how legit the argument is scientifically, but anecdotally it is very effective.

Luckily i do not watch porn nor i mastrubate frequently. ( I assume you are talking about the NoFap movement).

Yes i am the opposite.. dull, no motivation , brain fog, low libido

Guess i need to find why i can not boost boost dopamine. Tyrosine, acetltyrosine and l-dopa do not produce any positive effect.

I will try TMG soon and will see what happens. :)

Have you considered phenylethylamine deficiency instead of dopamine?
PEA produces effect similar to the drug amphetamine also known as speed and it can be thought of as our natural endogenous amphetamine. PEA increases psychological energy and focus, it improves concentration and gives us more get up and go

Hmm i remember reading about PEA some time ago but i do not know why i decided not to after it.. Looks promising :)

Any experience with it? Phenylethylamine is quite expensive here so i think i will go with dl- phenylalanine.
Not much, but I remember phenylalanine offering more help than tyrosine years ago when I tried it. I may give it another try for fun too, it's so cheap.

why is the dl-phenylalanine recommended over the l-phenylalanine?
