I have low dopamine, I am not depressed but often feel like not going on because I don't feel anymore.
I used to be on adderall for about 7 years, everything was awesome!I felt good, super creative and interested in everything, out going and fun. Everyday I woke up excited and every night I laid down satisfied.

Long story short, had some manic episodes and got delusional and they took me off of it and went to nut hut on time out for a while.

Took some years but got back on track, wanted to die but I kept going, not religious but I fear some kind of punishment for taking my own life.

Now I have a good job, a awesome girlfriend, everything I want, I even have a preppers paradise on 40 acres away from all the assholes, I inherited like 40k and haven't felt like spending any of it.

I just don't care about anything anymore, shits just grey and boring, I think I have low dopamine and I often want to end it just because I don't feel anything anymore.

Whats wrong with me? Ifeel like I am stuck in the matrix and everything is a facade and I want it to end.

Excercise.

Sungazing. Get sun in the corner of your eyes, while lifting your head up, for 10 minutes a day. Can start with 5 and work up. At dawn or dusk when there is no UI rating, can stare at the sun, but you have to check to confirm online and make sure there is no eclipses or cme's going on. Also trust your eyes, if its too bright, get it in the corners only.

This raises dopamine.

Melatonin at night.

sAme, and 5-htp (health food store or drug store) don't take them both, choose one or the other.

Also cut out junk food, and meditate. Theta. Ask your own soul for help. Send an inner SOS! And start to seek to wake up.

I have tried all of that, melatonin and 5-htp, choline, adrafinil, noopept. Nothing worked. sungazing too, Its like my mania brought me to places I never could comprehend before, wonderful places, it wasn't real but real to me, once the fantasy faded, nothing else will do.

I am still fun and still fun to be around, I laugh but I just don't feel like doing this anymore. I don't think I am depressed, I don't cry, I am not sad, just apathetic.

Yeah, tons, they tried meds and made things worse, but I am off of everything and holding a job, so I think that is the best I can get. No mania since I stopped adderall.

Don't give up on life. Keep doing positive things. Take nature walks, listen to birdsong, they're natural binaurals. And replace 3 negs in your life with 3 positives.

Try to do things for others.

It's not really what you feel, but its your will that shines.

If you can tolerate a comedy with others, so even if you don't laugh your ass off, maybe they do and you feel amused by others, and more childlike.

Looks like you are awake.

Awake people dont feel.

Emotions are a control mechanism.

If you cannot feel you cannot hurt.

And the bullshit of the world just washes right of.

You are emotionally tefloned.

Many things happening right now...

Mercury retrograde
Lunar phase
Low light levels

Like others said, it's very important to get sunlight. The eyes have special receptors that regulate hormones in the brain.

Many people believe the mercury retrograde thing is bunk, but let me tell you it's real. During retrograde I feel absolutely horrible. Depressed and extreme fatigue.

You might want to get your testosterone checked. Low T will make you depressed and have no feelings.

Maybe you just need to find your passion.

There is something you love to do, or you need a new hobby.

Use some of that money while it is still worth something.

Maybe buy a metal detector, or a drone, or start working on cars or something?

When you remove the chemicals and continue to wait to return to baseline, then you observe the basics.

Diet, exercise, rest and progression.

Re: I have low dopamine, I am not depressed but often feel like not going on because I don't feel anymore.
This will sound stupid. You need to buy huge bags of dry FAVA BEANS and sprout them and eat the sprouts. They contain more l- dopa than anything else. I'm sure you can find all sorts of info online, Parkinson's patients swear by FAVA BEANS and their sprouts. Of course you have to sprout them right or you could get food poisoned so read some sprouting tutorials. I believe there are more beans that contain lops... Maybe VELVET BEANS?

But ya ADD drugs can be a slippery slope especially if you do not have ADD.

Beans beans are magic!

Re: I have low dopamine, I am not depressed but often feel like not going on because I don't feel anymore.
Interesting you say you were on adderall, as I was also during my time in college. Had it adjusted a couple times, but was on a low dose.. it worked in the beginning, but I felt I was getting a tolerance and didn't want to be addicted to it, started to get some of the bad side effects. It got to the point I couldn't go to work unless I was on it. The withdrawals sucked also...I eventually weaned myself off...but to this day I don't feel right, like my mind changed, and I feel it happened while I was on adderall.

I too don't give a shit about much either...I'm very cynical about everything. I feel everything is fake, everything is a setup. Could be some depression mixed in...but when you see right though everything and see how fake it is, it changes you.
