L-Dopa,
B5 and B6 in large quanties.
Small amounts of the other B complex.
Accociatavly in the reactions C, chromium....
Not really something to play around with.
Your are dealing in brain chemistries here...
Misbalance with Acetocholine and norepinephrine could have unknown undesired effects.

Dopamine is synthesized in the body (mainly by nervous tissue and adrenal glands) first by the hydration of the amino acid tyrosine to DOPA by tyrosine hydroxylase. The next step in the process is the decarboxylation of DOPA by aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase. In neurons, dopamine is packaged after synthesis into vesicles, which are then released in response to the presynaptic action potential. Simply put, the amino acid you are looking for is tyrosine. See the article below for additional information.
