Subject: dopamine
Message:
I heard, more than once in the first part of ther series, that dopamine seems to be depleted in addicts. One thing that was not answered was whether if dopamine is supplemented by prescription does the desire lessen for the drugs that release the dopamine into the brain? Have any scientists studied supplemental dopamine for addicts?
