My Dopamine Concern: DBH, GCH1 and COMT

[TheChosenOne]

What really works for me is lithium, magnesium, phosphatidylcholine, tyrosine and a B complex.
Magnesium and lithium increase COMT expression. Phosphatidylcholine helps BHMT, but more importantly, it saves some SAMe. SAMe is needed for COMT to work. Phosphatidylcholine is also very beneficial for my sister, so there must be some genetic benefit.
I've run my 23andme file through MTHFRSupport and I was scrolling through it, when I came across an area with a lot of red SNPs in the 'Neurotransmitter Pathway'. I don't think I have a serotonin problem, but I do have a dopamine problem.
The SNPs that you were talking about (++, +- and -- are copied from MTHFRSupport):
MAOB
rs2283729
G
rs1799836
C -

DDC (This is both AAAD and 5HTD in the pathways below, helping create serotonin and dopamine as well.)
rs3735273
CC ++
rs1451375
CC --
rs921451
TT ++
rs2329340

COMT

DBH, GCH1 and COMT might be the biggest problems. I don't have full information about all the SNPs. Maybe you can elaborate it a bit?

PS: I've had OCD/ADD in the past.

Thanks.

Did you ever resolve your dopamine concerns ? I have the same.

Hi
I've made an update on my main post: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/what-i-discovered-so-far.39248/#post-714117
I don't think genetics are the first thing to tacle. I'm currently checking out other stuff like infections. I doubt I really have a dopamine issue. But I've made an appointment with a specialist to possibly discuss this.
