Dopamine synthesis without using a dopamine releasing agent?

I'm very confused about what hydroxylase is
"California Poppy appears to inhibit Dopamine-B-Hydroxylase.[8]"
This never made sense to me. Either way I will look into low dose aspirin. Trying to give bromantane the best chance it can possibly get here

Tyrosine hydroxylase is the enzyme that converts tyrosine to L-DOPA. Then L-DOPA gets converted to dopamine by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. So those two enzymes are responsible for how quickly you produce dopamine. If you up-regulate them, you make more dopamine. If you down-regulate them, you make less.
