What are some reliable antidepressants that increase dopamine levels. Are they addictive?

But, Dopamine levels are depleted by stress, certain antidepressants, drug use, poor nutrition, and poor sleep. Alcohol, caffeine, and sugar all seem to decrease dopamine activity in the brain, as well as processed foods, preservatives, and additives. These have wreaked havoc on our brains & bodies. Dopamine is the precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine. And, depending on what is depleted in your body or how your brain is/isn't working, any number of the neurotransmitters can be involved. I've been helped by a good combination of amino acids, taken in either liquid or powder formula. The formula, Alive, has a great combo of vitamin, mineral & particularly amino acids, or any other serious combo of amino acids (with L-Tyrosine). Some of this is controversial, but I've spent many years studying this in my career, so take what you'd like & leave the rest. And, none of the anti-depressants are addictive, in the sense that you increase tolerance & require a larger dose. But, once you find what works, you probably won't want to go back to the depression! And, best of luck to you. J.
