Dopamine Triggers Movement but Does Not Sustain It, Parkinson’s Study Suggests
Interesting study. It suggests that a constant flow of dopamine is not necessary. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/2018/02/13/portuguese-and-american-study-finds-dopamine-sparks-but-does-not-sustain-movement/?utm_source=PAR+E-mail+List&utm_campaign=538f471527-RSS_WEEKLY_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_MONDAY_US&utm_medium

Tramadol and/or Horizant
I have seen several discussions/comments about tramadol HCL, but can not find them. I would appreciate any good, bat, otherwise on this Rx. My RLS Dr. is suggesting it as a less addictive Rx to help with sleep at night, as one of several options to try, since I have withdrawn from Augmentation from pramipexole

Novelty and dopamine
Does anyone else feel like boredom contributes to their depression? My job is incredibly dull and I swear that contributes to depression. On the other hand, if I can find novel things to engage my mind in like a good book, a classic video game, playing an instrument, or meeting someone new then I feel

Curious. Who is taking NAC and mannitol? Anyone?
Just curious. Is anyone in the PD group taking these two supplements? If so I'd love to hear your experience. - Joe - N-Acetyl Cysteine May Support Dopamine Neurons in Parkinson's Disease: Preliminary Clinical and Cell Line Data http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0157602

Rasagiline, azlect
I was diagnosed about a year ago and would like to stay off Meds as long as possible. But I am taking rasagiline as my dr says it protects my dopamine. Any opinions about that? I’m also taking SAMe for ease in joints and some macuna powder in my breakfast foods. Thanks, janet

Body movements just need a 'puff' of dopamine to get started
Body movements just need a 'puff' of dopamine to get started. A new study in mice suggests that a burst of dopamine levels at the beginning of a movement only, as opposed to all the time, is what gets us going; this may have important implications for treating Parkinson's disease. https://www.sciencedaily.com

The doctor who prescribed Lamictal said we could always try
Depakine
Chrono (Valproat) if I don't want to wait 2-3 months to reach a full maintenance dose of Lamictal.
