I found it interesting that they mention melatonin as interfering with the dopamine pathways, and making motor symptoms worse.
I've been taking melatonin nightly for years. It really helps me sleep but maybe it's time to switch to something else!
I had read previously that melatonin was supposed to be a good thing for people with PD.

Melatonin is only good for you up to 2 weeks then becomes detrimental over the long haul. I have a complete light therapy (IR) set, the head thing and the pads for the back etc with no result for me. Also used the "Pen" with no effect at all. recommend you don't spend the money.
Peace,
BP with Pd since 2003 no meds only naturally.
