Question 1

how to increase dopamine level in brain naturally?

Accepted Answer

Naturally means?: Do you mean WITHOUT use of typical pharmacological agents which are prescribed in the U.S. and elsewhere? Tyrosine is an amino acid which is a building block for dopamine.  When taken in greater quantities than we get from ingestion dopamine levels will rise in the brain.  However, at such necessarily high levels, significant side effects can occur. Needs to be monitored closely by physician.

Question 2

what natural things can i do to increase dopamine?

Accepted Answer

Pleasurable: Pleasurable activities, foods, exercises, images, drinks (careful, i don t mean necessarily &quot;those&quot;...), even sex. Those things you enjoy the most, increase your dopaminergic activity. Wherever your passion is, like my brother says. That is in general. Now, in presence of a disease (like parkinsons), the whole mechanism lacks enough neurotransmitter to make this ideas effective. Consult your dr.

Question 3

please tell me what can i do to increase my dopamine levels?

Accepted Answer

Dopamine: levels can drop if your iron level is low as iron is a cofactor for the enzyme Tyrosine Hydroxylase which is needed to make Dopamine. So I suggest you have your iron level checked first. There are a whole bunch of medications that affect Dopamine levels (in either direction)  As a next step, I suggest you discuss this with a PCP who knows your situation well.

It can be given intravenously, which is done sometimes to help increase blood pressure.  See also: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/dopamine.
