In reply to Dopamine what meds increase it?, posted by Phillipa on January 20, 2008, at 12:38:15
Do you want to know what drugs can indirectly increase extracellular (i.e., outside of a nerve cell) levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine? Are you interested in FDA approved drugs or all known drugs?
You might also want to know about what drugs affect dopamine receptors. Drugs can act as agonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists, or antagonists at D1, D2, D3, D4, or D5 dopamine receptors. A comprehensive list of all the drugs with any of those effects would be very difficult to create and very long. If we limited it to FDA approved drugs, then it could be done much more easily. However, the list would not necessarily be accurate because of a lack of information, incorrect information, and various other obstacles.
