What can cause super high free plasma dopamine, like 2 to 4 times the lab high value??

High dopamine: Exercise and certain foods and supplements, lack of sleep and certain medications have been shown to raise dopamine levels. The elevated levels can cause mood disorders. Examine your lifestyle and determine if any of the abovementioned factors apply to you after googling "causes of elevated dopamine levels".
