Crazy, huh? Even the Stanford Guy said dopamine has not been addressed--and clearly there is a percentage of the population for which that is the determining key.
Could it also be that the actions of dopamine are not as well understood despite active research, that seritonin and ne were easier to (begin to) utilize?
Dopamine seems problematic because it is so powerful--too much, psychosis, impluse control problems (and I'm referring to self-destructive decision-making). Too little is implicated in more illnesses than parkensons that I can name.
Just some thoughts from a dopamine responder....
