Default it's not just dopamine

Other cells are missing. we are low in noradrenalin, we have unbalanced aceptycholine and glutamate-and low brakes [Gaba]. Right now we are asking for something better than sinemet. But that doesn't solve the problem. It makes us hyper. our speech races, etc. If we take meds for the brakes [gaba] or to slow acetylcholine, reduce the anxiety [big symptom] they make us more tired than we already are. However, they take away the hyper side effects - for me even the dyskinesia.

dopamine works - but we are out of balance.
