Are dopaminergic herbs really any safer than meds?

Posted by clipper40 on January 2, 2008, at 3:28:57

I've been reading a lot of posts lately about dopaminergic herbs and making a list of the ones I want to try. However, in the back of my mind I kept wondering if they're really any safer. If they're dopamine agonists, then wouldn't they have the same type of problems and risks that other dopamine agonists have?

Also, why do some of you consider Mucuna Pruriens risky?

Lastly, if dopamine converts to norepinephrine, then why aren't all dopaminergic meds and herbs, stimulating? Why don' they all cause the racing heart and increased nervousness etc.? Does the conversion happen in the brain? I thought not but now I'm wondering.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify any of this for me.
