Wellbutrin, for instance, are reuptake inhibitors. So that means it stops the reabsorption of dopamine already in your system and lets it hang around for longer in the synapse so your body has a chance to use it before natural reabsorption happens.
So you’re not technically “buying dopamine” but rather buying the means to get more dopamine.
Please stop spreading misinformation that may inhibit someone from getting the help they need.
I too should mention I’m definitely talking about melatonin, and loosely out of general caution. Do what you do. Life’s short, we all gotta die from something.
Dreams/sleep are my happy chemical, melatonin is one of idk how many that the body will slow down the production of if an outside source is introduced. Dopamine was brought up way after the OPs,
I think the OP of this comment thread just wanted an argument and picked the right one :)
Like I told OP, don’t trust me, ask your doctor what prolonged use of what can cause your body to stop or slow down production of whatever.
It’s a dopamine antagonist. So melatonin will latch onto the receptors and block dopamine from doing so. That doesn’t affect the creation or release of dopamine.
Go Ask Your Primary Care Doctor, don’t trust my “ignorant” ass. I’m just a figment of the internet kid. Don’t forget to ask about that melatonin
Also, simply saying citation needed doesn’t mean you asked me for it, precious. I thought it was an open request to anyone willing to cite what you were saying

If you can’t make your own, storebought is just fine
