L-Dopa

[Khyron]

Sooo.... as most people know, Dopamine is one of the more 'fun' chemicals in the brain...

Well, im wondering how recreational a bottle of Levodopa might be for someone. Incase you dont know, L-dopa is a medication perscribed for Parkinsons disease... it is metabolized with only about a 10% efficiency into your blood stream, and when it enters the brain it is turn to dopamine and serotonin by the amino acid Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase.

What im wondering, if anybody knows, is that parkinsons is caused by a defficiency in the D2-4 dopamine synapses. does L-dopa affect only the D2-4 synapses, or all 4 of them? because the D1 synapses are the only excitatory ones, while the other 3 are all inhibitory.... and with one of L-dopa's side effects being Gastro-intestinal bleeding, id like to know if anyone has had any experiance with it before i pop 3-4 of the lil buggers
