Dopamine deficiencies and schizoaffective are linked, according to wikipedia. I found some foods that increase the dopamine pleasure feeling nuerotransmitters in the brain.

ripe bananas
red beans
cranberries
prunes
strawberries
raw almonds
peanuts
Amino Acid supplement
Antioxidant supplement

In my case, the rush of a specific addiction caused me to get hooked on the higher levels of dopamine, since it was low due to my schizoaffective disorder. Now maybe I can supply myself dopamine in more natural ways and I could break the addiction.
