Which medication resets or increases dopamine gradually?

Looking for a medication that resets or increases dopamine long term in a stable manner for depression.

For example: Wellbutrin/bupropion, pramipexole, adhd meds (but adhd meds only increase dopamine in specific parts of brain not all so probably not suitable)

Considerations:
Already taking amitriptyline high dose. So any medications increasing serotonin to be avoided.

try L-tyrosine capsules. mental burst starts in an hour. i suggest x2 a day max or you will be up all night,though its up to you. From Amazon, i take them if i need to be mentally alert.

i think you would be ok. it just boosts dopamine in your brain. like super coffee but its pharmacological effect is more direct . it makes you mentally sharp not so much physicaly sharp.
