>Hi Kara,
Altering dopamine levels can lead to problems like Parkinsons & Psychosis. Altering 5-HT & NE doesn't seem to lead to any long term problems. The only Dopamine drugs I would use are the MAOI's. Other dopaminergics should be left to diseases that actually require it like ADD & even then ADDers seem to prefer there drugs to be skewed towards NE.
Cheers,
Panda.
