Opicapone works by restoring the levels of
dopamine
in the brain, which controls movement and coordination; it also enhances the effects of levodopa, which helps with movement.

Things that help me.
Sometimes none of the above work, and I put my earphones in and play some music on my mp3 player that I really enjoy in the hope it will give me a
dopamine
rush. Failing that I get up and make a cup of tea!

Depression is gone.
My GP says it's because no matter how much serotonin you have it can not work without the
dopamine
. I've been able to cut back on the anti-depressants significantly. I not longer take Trazodone or Wellbutrin and I'm only on 100mg of Zoloft now which is a reduction for me.

As Parkinson’s patients wait, Fox Foundation and scientist feud over Nilotinib drug trial
Nilotinib appeared to double patients’
dopamine
production, reduce the death of
dopamine
-producing nerve cells, and clear from those cells a toxic protein associated with Parkinson’s and a related disorder, dementia with Lewy bodies.

Anti depressents and thyroid symptoms
However, I did wonder if they could be useful as a muscle relaxant and in regard to how they thyroid affects
dopamine
.. I know this is going to come up next week when I see here and I don't feel that I need than mentally but wondering if they would be of use physically?

Pramipexole (Mirapex) appear to have neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties
This study (
Dopamine
D3 receptor agonists for protection and repair in Parkinson's disease). goes on to say that Mirapex has a neuroprotective and neurorestorative effect. From what I read on this forum Mirapex has a lot of side effects and is nearly impossible to get off of.

LBD Lewy Body Dementia Association Link
These Lewy body proteins are found in an area of the brain stem where they deplete the neurotransmitter
dopamine
, causing Parkinsonian symptoms. In Lewy body dementia, these abnormal proteins are diffuse throughout other areas of the brain, including the cerebral cortex.

Timeline For Exercise Benefits
Post-exercise
dopamine
, serotonin, and norepinephrine flood your brain for hours afterwards giving you a feeling of zen and peacefulness. And the best thing is for every 100 calories you burn during your workout you continue to burn an additional 15 to 25 calories after!

Robin Williams
He had about 40% loss of
dopamine
neurons and almost no neurons were free of Lewy bodies throughout the entire brain and brainstem. Robin is and will always be a larger-than-life spirit who was inside the body of a normal man with a human brain.

Stiff from not moving at night
He said the inability to move at night is due to lack of
dopamine
during the night. Sorry I don't have anything to report about how it works. I must remember to put water and a tablet by my bed tonight and give that extra tab a try. I'll let you know.

Vaccine Against Key Parkinson's Target
Researchers hope this therapy may slow or stop disease progression Many (42 percent) of antibody responders from the first trial did not need to increase their
dopamine
medication over the study observation period (an average of three years).

Perspective on the Gut and Parkinson's Disase
The indications that the inflammation process that destroys
dopamine
producing neurons in our Substantia Nigra originates in our Gut, reaching our brain via the vagus nerve. What are the indications?

Advanced Parkinsons treatment
My present Neuro has ruled out prescribing any
dopamine
agonists and even dbs because in large part to my previous reaction to the much written about Cabaser. Has anyone had any similar experiences or recommendation.

No meds
Having seen the recent posts about the book on nutrition ( written by someone with MS) and as well, reading all the supplements, etc that various of you take, I want to ask if it is dangerous NOT to replace
dopamine
...will not taking sinemet or the Mucuna equivalent do more harm to the neurotransmitter

New treatment strategy could cut Parkinson's disease off at the pass
Abnormal clumps of α-synuclein protein are often found in autopsies of people with Parkinson's disease and are thought to cause the death of
dopamine
-producing brain cells.
