I hv mild pd.If I was misdiagnosed,could I hv a problem taking sinament,with getting too much dopamine?i hv heard of a serotonin syndrome?
Yes-I don't get exactly why but it seems to be less about dopamine issues than they have always thought. It is the balance between Serotonin and dopamine. See work being done by CHK Nutrition in Duluth MN in the U.S. (Dr. Marty Hines)
I don't know but stay undermedicated until it's needed. Exercise, exercise and find clinical trials involving cognitive issues. Also find non-pwp friends to participate in clinical trials. If we don't participate, there will never be a cure OR a biomarker for diagnosing PD> although I heard on TV we are close.

Hinz could not immediately be reached for comment. DuVal described him as a well-known speaker and writer on the benefits of taking amino acid supplements. Hinz holds an active medical license in Minnesota, where he attended the University of Minnesota Medical School, according to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
However, the board has taken several disciplinary actions against him, starting in 1996 when it suspended his license after he was hospitalized in Duluth for bipolar disorder with sleep deprivation. Later actions show continued concern over his ability to practice. It suspended his license again in 2001 after a skills audit "identified concerns with [his] medical knowledge, prescribing practices, competency, and recordkeeping," but stayed the suspension contingent on his full compliance with the terms, provisions and deadlines set by the board. The license was reinstated in 2005.
One of the things the FDA objected to was a link on CHK Nutrition's website to NeuroResearch Clinics' website where there were discussions about "amino-acid therapy" for treating such ailments as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, depression and attention-deficit disorder. The FDA said it warned the company to stop making unapproved drug claims, but it didn't.
DuVal said he was sympathetic to the FDA's mission to stop "elixir salesmen." But he accused the agency of being overzealous in its attempts to regulate the ill-defined field of dietary supplements and probiotics, which includes encapsulated microorganisms such as those found in yogurt.
"It's a huge issue," DuVal said. "It's an emerging field, but it's an important one because that's where society is going. We're relying less on traditional Western medicine, which is reactive, and we're trying to be more proactive about our health."
