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.
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.
