After stopping Ashwagandha and NAC (both increase serotonin), I started taking Clonidine. Clonidine increases dopamine, lowers prolactin along with the aspirin (I was only occasionally taking due to tinnitus), shlijiat (test + dopa), mucuna pruriens (lowers prolactin, increases dopamine). This Sky High Dopamine caused me to have sleepless nights where I'd continue to do shit even tho I needed sleep. I didn't feel tired at all.

So how did I fix this problem? Synthetic Melatonin

Melatonin antagonizes Dopamine unfortunately (you have to be careful). Use just enough to get asleep and avoid grogginess or motivation issues the next day.

Melatonin lowers your dopamine. I had the issue of sky high dopamine causing insomnia and sleepless nights. Therefore, taking low doses won't hurt me too much.

What other supplements you take also
That increase dopamine:

shljiat
mucuna pruriens
clonidine
aspirin (sometimes)

I take dozens of supplements overall
 
Bromantane intranasally is good too.
 
Clonidine reduces dopamine not increase it
