  @alfredoolivas Thanks for your reply.

  Are you suggesting that there are no popular medications that don't increase DA and NA?

  I kind of was, yes. The case of bupropion e.g. is not truly dopaminergic in practice.
  Caffeine is a good point yes but it's also somewhat contradictory and double-edged.
  Bromocriptine, amantadine and memantine, cabergolin I have no experience with and they're all kept restricted in their prescription labeling unless one already has full-blown PD. Other ergot derivatives like metergolin or lisurid or ergotiamin have been bought up and globally phased out.
  In this light the potential properties of OTC OLE appear alluring.

  I have what seems to be an intense adrenergic response to dating. To combat this I have tried taking L-Theanine and Pregnenolone, neither has helped at all.

  My pulse rises and stays above 100 leading up to and during the date, my limbs go cold, I shake, I am unable to loosen up and be myself and I feel this is leading to me struggling to build genuine connections.

  I saw a girl I dated a few years back last night who I’ve always liked, I feel a strong love-sick/ cortisol filled feeling since seeing her.

  Any advice to help me get this under control and improve my ability to stay calm in these situations?

  I am otherwise calm and relaxed.

  @Lothric
  Currently I use a bit of apple cider vinegar on shredded carrots. I haven't been adding coconut oil to make the carrot salad because I haven't enjoyed the texture/taste so I do coconut oil swish beforehand.

  Are you experiencing this with all foods or just certain ones?

  @patriarch yes. you should do a couple easy warm up sets to get blood flowing into the muscle. But yeah a single working set. Once 12 reps become easy you can slowly add a pound every week to a weight belt. In a couple years you could be doing 100 pounds added.

  Slow and steady wins the race. Gym rat routines with 5 workouts a week with lots of volume are really unnecessary if your goals is just slowly building muscle mass and strength and in most cases counter productive.
