i think riboflavin (vitamin b-2) does this.
riboflavin may help MAO activity which eats excess neurotransmitters.
http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/111/8/1397.pdfmelatonin supps also could help. it seems to increase prolactin. prolactin and dopamine are known counteract each other.
in my experience, these can help tame the insomnia and irritability of excess dopamine...though you can feel overly dulled by these supps...your mileage may vary...
finding proper balance of this sh*t is probably impossible. but at least it's nice to know what the levers are.
