Hi Bob,
(Some people use SP short for Social Phobia).
Yes, it has been well established in studies that Parkinson's patients are five times more likely to have have SP *precede* development of Parkinson's.
Yes also the dopamine point you brought out. Parkinson's meds don't usually work as antidepressants.
However MAOI's (including Elderpyl at high dose) also significantly boost serotonin and norepineprhine.
Nardil boost serotonin more than dopamine and norepihephrine (and also GABA at higher doses).kp

> How can an antidepressant, like the MAOIs etc. increase dopamine levels, without the risk of EPS? I thought that was exactly why APs inclined to do that.
