In reply to Dopamine what meds increase it?, posted by Phillipa on January 20, 2008, at 12:38:15
> Well this is neurotransmitters and isn't dopamine a neurotransmitter? If so I googled and wiki said dopamine doesn't cross the blood brain barrier and is a reward transmitter for parkinsons and other disorders. So what meds do affect dopamine if it doesn't get to the brain? Or did I misunderstand? Thanks trying to learn phillipa
Dopamine agonists like Trivastal. Stimulants, Wellbutrin, and also Zoloft but very weakly. L-tyrosine, an amino acid is the presursor of L-dopa and dopamine.
