> Aren't dopaminergic drugs dopamine agonists? :)


That is a good question. Many on this board seem to think it is more/less, ie, I need more or less dopamine. It is far more complex than that.
One can show a decrease or increase at some point
but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Also if you effect one NT you effect them all.

An NT has many functions, dopamine effects thought and movement. Few seem to be aware
of the serious long term effects of AP's, causing movement disorders. Everyone taking the older AP's will have these problems if they take them long enough.

So I think that if your understanding does not take into account the complexity then making treatment choices based on the logic dopamine=good=more is not reasonable. Nor is
it reasonable to see this all as a government plot.

Hear this:

We have 50 years experience with the AP's, and they all cause disfiguring movement disorders
long term. Given these drugs work with dopamine I would tread carefully here. You are free to ignore the history for these meds, but remember the meds themselves cover up EPS and TD (movement disorders) and if are some point you are afflected
the damage and movement disorder is permanent.

This is not a crit of Essencial Fatty Acids or "Fish Oil". I suspect it is the anti-oxident
effects that are causing many to get better.
