Does taking specific supplements to increase our neurotransmitters (seratonin, dopamine,etc.) Shorten the duration and/or lessen the severity of withdrawals?

What about phenylalanine or tyrosine, for the amphetamine side?
I actually started these supplements for amphetamine use but it is still very valid in the OPs intentions. You dont want to add extra phenylalanine espesually for amphetamine use/recovery, it is used as a natural stimulant in your brain (along with several over functions) so adding extra stimulation and replacing the bodys natural chemicals should be avoided.As for increasing the neurotransmitter sensitivity as well as increasing the out-put of Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephren etc.
-500mg 5-htp first thing in the morning (1 WEEK MAX)
-500mg L-DOPA 30 mins before sleep
(1 WEEK MAX)
(Dont take 5-htp and L-DOPA at the same time, they will cancel each other out)
-5-10mg melatonin before sleep
-1000mg CoQ-10 spread evenly though the day.
-500mg Omega 3 fatty-acids
-Taking in your own daily needs of BCAAs
-750mg L-Tryptophan in the morning. (only after ending use of 5-htp)
-750mg L-Tyrosine before sleep
(Only after ending use of L-DOPA)
-Taking an probiotic supplement will help alot too.
-Focusing on proper nutrion and getting in your personal daily need of calories, carbs, protein, and fat is the most effective and important thing you can do.
L-DOPA is the final step precursor to dopamine and 5-htp is the final step precursor to serotonin so they are good as a quick store up of the needed neuro-chemicals but using it for any longer than a week will cause your body to stop it own production/conversion because it is recieving it from a new source.

This feels like a bb.com or anabolicminds post lol. I have to say all the things I learned from years of working out (and living/dieting correctly) do offer help in my cyclical recoveries from drugs, as ironic as that may sound.
Some portion of the tyrosine will convert, or eventually convert to l-dopa I believe? In which case supplementing tyrosine would be an even further step down as if weening off the l-dopa? While still benefiting from imcreased dopamine production?
I take a ZMA supplement with mucana pruriens which is (some)% l-dopa and I always loved it, especially during recovery.
