I was just reading about a study linking dopamine flow decreasing in our brains if we smoke cigarettes. I am a smoker and wonder how important dopamine really is...Are there any meds out there that up a persons dop. level?
Anyone with info plz advise.
Thanks

I would try a low dose of selegeline. This MAOB inhibitor would probably be similar to the actions of smoking on MAO-B inhibition.
