On the flipside, too much dopamine may cause anxiety and inability to relax. Finding your middle ground is the best solution and tipping the scales a little in the Dopamine direction. You can even do this by adding Blueberry, Pomegranate, and other fruit extracts to your regimen. Vitamin D or Methyl B-12 are serotonin enhancing and can cover those bases. You can enhance Serotonin levels with Vitamin D and Methyl B-12 amongst other routes.
