Low Dopamine Levels ==> How to Increase?

Got the remainder of my most recent blood test results. Dopamine level is really, really low. I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but my recollection is the range went up to 150 and my level was less than 10.

Vitamin B and D were deficient as well. I'm now taking supplements that will hopefully fix those issues. Plus slight increases in thyroid medication and HCG to bring numbers up a bit.

What have folks done to increase dopamine levels?
 
Thanks for the info. Hopefully my dopamine level will go up after I fix various vitamin deficiencies (B, D, iron). I have a prescription for Cabergoline, but might try L-dopa before that.
 
You have a script for caber? Talk to your doc about deprenyl, it's better for long term increase of dopamine, and has other benefits too. You can get a patch (time released)..

I'm not a doctor though so do what they say first ;)
 
I've never really tried mucuna or 1-carboxy.

But reading up on it, I think UN's is a more pure/potent form of l-dopa

What is it that you feel from mucuna or powerful/1-carboxy? How well does it work for you and what do you notice from it?

Maybe I didn't take enough, but I don't really notice anything except feeling a little sedated. I was looking for the libido enhancing effects. I think I'll try the L-DOPA since its only $14 for the powder.

Is there something unusual about having a prescription for Cabergoline?
 
guys i tried mucuna pruriens powder, no extract, from an ayurveda site and this **** was really good stuff

took some half a teaspoon to a teaspoon before bed and woke up with a boner every morning after

also combined this with 5-htp at night

last years i have been okay, but never was motivated or anything for whatsoever except work, but the house never gets clean and **** like that

when i took this i had this feeling i could take on the world

when dosed too high i felt anxiety, or if not taken with 5-htp

then afterwards i tried another mucuna pruriens and this hadn't the same potency as the other

never tried an extract, but l-dopa from mucuna should be good stuff in my opinion

b6 never really did much for me

No not at all. Was it prescribed specifically to raise dopamine levels for you?

I was told by a doctor on another board that Deprenyl may be a safer method for long term prolactin control, I think caber is much stronger and works much differently (caber is a receptor agonist - deprenyl on the other hand prevents breakdown of dopamine, as well as PEA).
 
I think high prolactin, low libido, low motivation, etc... probably similar in some ways to low test but not completely. Just a guess..worth getting checked for though.
