This sounds like a good plan, but what do you think that "little something" should be? What med (or class of meds) might have a long-term beneficial effect on Dopamine transmission? I would think that anything which increases the amount of DA present (or otherwise stimulates DA receptors, such as a direct DA agonist) runs the risk of eventual dowregulation (a.k.a. "poop-out").
