NAC and Tyrosine both raise dopamine. I take 5g NAC every day and the difference is huge.
But the only thing that recovered 100% of my anhedonia was LSD and magic mushrooms.

How long have you taken NAC for?
8 months.
And the positive effects have remained since you began taking it?
How long did you take mushrooms for and how much?
Hallo Cman,
i understand 100% what you want to express. I had the same problems now for over 10 years till i decided one month ago to take 150 mg Zyban/Bupropion. All my Symptoms got dramatically better. Please look at the thread “bupropion for Motivation”. I made there a few posts.

I plan on starting it soon, but seeing as I have adderall, which functions in a similar manner, i’m aware of how adderall’s effects have changed in me. I used to get focused from adderall, a mood boost, and get hard and long erections. Nowadays, i just get an energy boost with no mood change, and zero erection. Still no boost to sexual attraction, which as someone mentioned is probably related to feelings. I’m sure wellbutrin/bupropion might help me adjust to functioning in life, but I want to wake up and feel happy to be alive again. Its been months without feeling true happiness- or feeling uncomfortably horny. Which sucks. I just want to feel my dick tell my body to be horny again

Has any prolactin inhibitors or AI’s or clomid helped anyone recover their libido?
I am in the same position as you. We have no desires and no rewards. Nothing feels like anything. I can’t remember what love is supposed to feel like. Even the small things; stretching legs, listening to music, sitting with friends. nothing. Its never ending man

I’ve taken Cabergoline. Made my libido and erections better on it, emotions too. But it’s kind of a risky drug to be on for a long time, so I went off it. And I still didn’t feel cured, it felt like an artificial patch.
This symptom is the real killer

Read the posts where people didn’t benefit and it made them worse
Then make your choice. Good luck
Dont´t be afraid of Zyban/Bupropion. You have nothing to loose. If you dont´t try it you will never know if it works for you. I lived 10 years like a Zombie and thanks to Zyban i am back to life again. Dopamine itself is a prolactin inhibitor. By raising your dopamine you counteract prolactin. I have taken a few years ago also Methylphenidat. But i had no effect on my Libido. Neither better nor worse. Although it works like a dopamine reuptake inhibito. But Bupropion is different. Carbergoline is a very potent Dopaminagonist. But it can damage your heart valves on long term use. So i would not recommend it. Bupropion is a relative safe drug.

At the beginning the effects were stronger, but still got a permanent dopamine increase.

I took micro doses every 14 days. It only works for one day though. But still nice to feel great even for just 1 day.

I spent ~4-5 years taking bromocriptine on-and-off and it seemed to help induce windows of increased emotion over my baseline. Also seemed to help with libido a bit.

Micro doses of what?
Magic mushrooms.
Yeah I did. I don’t think living this way is feasible though, so i’m hoping there’s some way out there to fix the emotional flatness.
If really desperate. Microdosing ibogaine HCL gave me 2 months of ok emotions. Could watch movies again and shit.
