I think I may be suffering of some form of low dopamine and/or high acetylcholine. I had this problem before, but recently it got worse. I feel tired all time, can't focus, low attention, low motivation etc. When I tried Paleo and low carb diets, I was eating a lot of proteins and after a few days I felt much better. I wonder if my dopamine got depleted? It took me several years to get in this state btw... My hypothesis is that I probably abused of my brain chemistry and it depleted my stores. I have a somewhat addictive personality. I was hooked into video-games, coffee and sex...
In my country it's very hard to get dopamine precursors like phenylalanine/tyrosine. An user here suggested a complete protein supplement, like Whey Protein would be helpful. Today I got some Whey Protein and noticed a small change and my mental state (before I would be too tired and unmotivated, even to go to a forum and write this), but nothing impressive yet. How long should I wait until my brain chemistry is restored? Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks for your help.
