Apparently Mucuna is a herb that contains L-Dopa, and therefore can boost dopamine.
I've read some good reportsHas anyone had any experience with it?
Also are there any good brands?

Hi Tom,
L-dopa interacts with MAOIs.

One day I took Parnate 10mg and the next day took (what looks like) 130mg l-dopa. I could notice a heart rate or blood pressure difference (a difference in my pulse, I guess), probably due to a little MAO inhibition. Unfortunately, I have to say that it didn't feel quite like diving into a pool on a hot day. I think I took the l-dopa thing in the morning and seroctin in the afternoon.
There isn't much difference between Parnate 10mg and SAMe 400mg + deprenyl 2mg.
