Selegiline - dopamine - COMT inhibition

Posted by Jimmyboy on August 29, 2006, at 15:23:34

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this....


low dose Selegiline + Phenylalanine supposedly increases dopamine levels.. while I have heard that green tea , or even just tea period is a COMT inhibitor.

How much of a differance does the COMT inhibition play in " keeping the dopamine around"?

Is it possible that someone with the "val/val" varient if the COMT gene( which supposedly breaks down DA/NE very fast??) is too low on dopamine and would have symptoms such as total exhaustion, no motivation, social avoidance, cloudy thinking, etc. ?
