I remembered too late that these posts are meant to be about treatments. My doctor did actually start looking at some treatments for parkinson's disease for me; not because he thought I had it; but because we both had this vague idea that I didn't have enough dopamine. I've never been able to get it out of my head that I'm not suffering from parkinson's (or latent or incipient parkinson's) so it's nice to hear from someone else who has had it from depression.
