Maybe not exactly that, but you get the idea. Maybe you already have something like that implemented.
Based on my experiences so far manipulating brain chemistry is not only possible, but relatively easily done. However, your suggestion stems from a belief that the chemical causes the result, whereas my experiments suggest that that is either not the case, or not always the case. Based on the results I have seen, it seems at least as likely to me that the brain chemistry is at least as influenced by the beliefs and thoughts, if not moreso.
I already use brain chemistry adjustments in some cases. You never want to create an addiction, even if the end goal seems good, because an addiction is always a loss of control. I do know how to disrupt dopamine production specifically and increase it, although I have never done that specifically and explicitly. Besides which, dopamine is far from the only "addictive" brain chemical our brains produce.
Better to manipulate or influence brain chemistry to achieve the program goals, which is what is already being done in some cases.

this would be game-changing for me, as it would also help tremendously with my Attention deficit disorder.
Thanks for this comment! hopefully, Shannon can see a way for this to work. or run it through his models.
Cheers!
Again, the chemicals are not controlling the mind, and they are probably not even controlling the brain. Most likely, it is the mind that is controlling the brain and brain chemicals, and very much like with the Sex Drive maximizer, simply needs to be directed in the right direction.
The evidence that I have seen points to the brain being the physical "focal point" for a non-physical mind, and the brain structure and chemistry being sort of like adjustments and filters for it. The brain can develop a cycle of dependence and the development and chemistry can influence what the mnd experiences while focusing through the brain, and how clearly or un-clearly it does so, and in "what spectrum of light", as it were, but the mind can control the brain and brain chemistry to its own ends when properly directed.

When it is finished and passes QC.
I am not saying it's controlling the mind but it has been shown that dopamine is chronically low in people with ADHD.
This is not controlling you but it will make you look for stimulation(probably subconsciously) for dopamine increasing activities and situations.
it's VERY hard to focus on things that are less interesting(like grinding for a business in my case) that do not produce a lot of dopamine.
sure you might be able to power through but I have been trying that method for years and has not really produced results.
so yes I agree that chemicals do not create the results, but it makes it a lot easier to create those results if I get enough dopamine from creating my business. instead of video games, tv shows, etc.
good luck with frm 4.9, I am thrilled for it!
