thanks for the suggestion, but i'm a little wary of the parkinson drugs. I have suffered from Bipolar symptoms in the past with a little related psychosis (when i was manic), and i also know there is a connection between too much dopamine and shcizophrenia.
Basically, i have been on so many psycho-active meds in the past, and some have really screwed me up, so i'm trying to avoid them if i can. I think i'll probablly try one of the anticonvulsants first.
