Dopamine is thought to play a role in mediating drive and motivation, but it probably works in concert with other brain chemicals to actually create a drive to do something.

You may need a proper ballence of serotonin and dopamine in order to maintain drive. Too much dopamine and not enough serotonin may just make you agiated and irritable.

These are just theories though, nobody really knows for certain how the brain chemcials interact.

Thanks. I though some people in the past that did many achievements had active dopamine in the brain. But too much makes paranoia and agitation.

I think norephinerine too is the "stimulating" chemical, with out the ohter nuerotransmitters your stimulated over nothing, which really would make you want to take a beta blocker ROFL.
