Interesting paper proposing the brain cvan be trained to release more dopamine without meds.

That’s why researchers were very excited about a new study which showed a
way that people can increase dopamine production without ingesting any drugs or supplements.
In a new study researchers from Karolinska Institutet, Umeå University, Åbo Akademi University, and the University of Turku showed for the first time that working-memory training is associated with an increased release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in specific brain regions.
"Working-memory training resulted in increased dopamine release…", says Lars Bäckman, Professor at Karolinska Institutet, and one of the scientists behind the study.
In the study, subjects were trained in updating working memory for five weeks by means of a letter-memory task. Compared to a control group that did not receive any training, the trained group showed a gradual improvement of working-memory performance.
And perhaps even more importantly, results from a PET scan demonstrated an increased release of dopamine in the brain after training. In addition, dopamine release was seen during the letter-memory task also before training; this release increased markedly after training.
With the importance of maintaining a good memory and having sufficient dopamine, you might want to consider trying some regular memory training.
