Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits

So it's basically the same as Prozac? 😩

If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).

This is obviously anecdotal, but fuck Wellbutrin. It didn't help, and it triggered tinnitus, which didn't go away after I stopped taking it. Still happening 2 years later. I'm one of the lucky 3-6% Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I’m sorry you experienced that. Personally I love Wellbutrin.

Sorry that happened. I get relatively minor tinnitus, but these exercises have helped. Dude's a chiropractor, but this particular stuff is not chiropractic and is legit. The thing that helps me is the palms on ears and drumming with fingers on the back of your head (like 50% through the video or so)

Thank you, I'll give this a shot! I've tried the one you suggested in the past and unfortunately it didn't help much, but I've seen it recommended often enough that I believe it's legit. Some of the others in this video are new to me and I'll definitely be trying them out.

It goes up and down (louder and quieter?) for me, and it's especially strong lately so I'm a little extra salty about it right now. 🫠
