It's attractive as a Nutraceutical Nootropic, boosting Dopamine has broad-spectrum effects; improving mood, enhancing cognition, and sharpening focus along with imbuing creativity, and verbal wit. More dopamine will likely make you a more dangerous version of yourself.
In modernity, we are overwhelmed with Dopamine stimulators, cheap thrills like junk food, viral videos, porn, and "Likes" on our most recent clever social media post, to name just a few. To address their stimulation addiction and drink deeply in the pleasure of the meaningful things in life, some are turning to "Dopamine Fasting" depriving themselves of all amusement and stimulation for days or weeks. I think a better solution is optimizing the Dopaminergic system with nutrition and supplementation of things like Catuaba.
A cerebral ischemia animal study found that it restored long-term retrograde memory
Ischemia caused persistent retrograde amnesia, and this effect was prevented by [Catuaba]. This memory protection (or preservation) persisted even after the treatment was discontinued, despite the absence of histological neuroprotection... The data indicate that antioxidant and/or antiinflammatory actions in the early phase of ischemia/reperfusion contribute to the long-term antiamnesic effect of [Catuaba].
Another study suggested that its neuroinflammation mitigating effect contributed to an overall effect on improving memory.
Imminent Biohacker, self-experimenter extraordinaire Abelard Lindsay sings its praises
I take Catuaba everyday because I find it's an awesome anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-depressant. It tastes good too! Like unsweetened gourmet coffee. I really can't say enough good things about it.
Animal research established its anti-depressive effect via induced hippocampal cell proliferation.
A 2008 Brazilian study notes its anti-depressive effect via dopamine modulation...
The present study provides convincing evidence for a dopamine-mediated antidepressant-like effect of the active principle(s) present in the hydroalcoholic extract of [Catuaba]
A Spanish Biohacker praised its effect on mood.
This herb is very zen, relaxing and focusing... [Catuaba] is the best anxiolytic and antidepressant I have found.

Like expected, it is slightly stimulating and a slight antidepressant... I feel slightly stimulated now... more motivation and ability to focus. Nothing crazy... just a good mood.

The scientific research, traditional medicine literature, and anecdotal evidence speak to its effects as an antidepressant. Considering that the common pharmaceutical antidepressants that psychiatrists prescribe are at best useless and at worst Iatrogenic - doing sometimes a lot more harm than good - if you're depressed or just feel a little blue during the winter months, Catuaba would be a great idea to include in a natural herbal antidepressant cocktail. You would want to stack it with herbs like Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, and Lion's Mane along with some antidepressant lifestyle hacks; meditation, exercise, diet, etc.Animal research established its anti-depressive effect via induced hippocampal cell proliferation.
