Choose a neurotransmitter. Spend one week trying to get as much as possible inside your brain. Report the results in a study.
If you are already on antidepressants, you should pick a neurotransmitter that is either inhibited by or unaffected by your antidepressant.

* Acetylcholine - voluntary movement of the muscles
* Norepinephrine - wakefulness or arousal
* Dopamine - voluntary movement and emotional arousal

* GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) - inhibition of motor neurons
* Glycine - spinal reflexes and motor behaviour
* Endophin - painkilling and sense of well-being
