Question: is trying some form of levidopa for treatment-resistant dopamine deficient depression a bad idea? I'd be curious to know how people feel about this. Anyone know how likely it would be for the l-dopa to cause that notorious down-regulation that makes dose-escalation necessary in Parkinson's patients? Would trying it cautiously, at a low dose, say, from an herbal source, be a reasonable thing to do? It seems reasonable, if the disadvantages aren't too great. There are only so many dopamine-friendly therapies out there.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts people might have!
