Linkadge--thanks for the response. I plan to do some more research on dopamine agonists. Is dopamine the only one of the amine trilogy (serotonin/norepinephrine/dopamine) that has a disease linked to its lack of production, i. e., Parkinson's? I don't really see much research based on declining levels of brain dopamine (well documented as an aging process) and the possible effects on mood disorders. For the past ten years, serotonin seems to be hogging the spotlight, but I suspect there are lots of clients put on SSRI's for whom serotonin is not the problem. I've tried almost all of them, and they all make me feel worse, yet I still find pdocs who want to "try again". Whose needs are they tring to meet? I plod on...depressed but persistent and hopeful.
