Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits
So it's basically the same as Prozac? 😩
If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).
I was a bit of not interested and not educated enough to know what a NDRI was while I was on it but it does make sense for ADHD and Depression symptoms.
The withdrawal from Wellbutrin was bad. I got brain zaps if I was 1hr late taking it; tapering and cessation was miserable.
I have gone off a few times over the years and didn't experience many side effects/withdrawals, but that is definitely not always the case - I've heard that it reeeaaally does not work for some people. Ymmv
Similar to your comment about ADHD, I feel like it helps me with some of my autism symptoms ("low support needs"/aspergers)
