I doubt you have low dopamine levels. Low dopamine levels usually lead to other illness such as Parkinsons.
All atypical antipsychotics ANTAGONIZE dopamine, which means they lower dopamine levels. Except for Abilify, which is a D2 partial agonist.
Drugs which increase dopamine include Requip, Mirapex, Levadopa, Memantine and a bunch more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_agonist
