Until this problem is resolved, I would avoid dopamine replacement, trying to make most efficient use of available dopamine through reduced stress and natural diet/supplement to boost dopamine and reduce the effectiveness of acetocholin.

Also, Mark, what do you take for diet/supplements? Mine: creatine, COQ10, resveratrol, fish oil, Amlodipine (for HBP but also possibly PD), multivitamin, Vitamin D, ibuprofen, aspirin, estrogen patch (may be relevant for PD), plenty of nuts, vegetarian + fish (for Omega 3), dance, yoga, walking, biking, aquatics class, plenty of sleep & rest, avoid stressful situations, etc. Yet I do get worse, esp. severe tremor. Any other thoughts?
