As all of you are too much aware by now, the injury to my brain is entirely post-synaptic. Meaning that I have enough dopamine, just no where for it to go. Now, Leva dopa obviously does not work on this kind of damage. I have been helped a great deal by your messages on the pallidus and pallidotomy. What I am wondering is this: Are there any drugs that temporarily inhibit the production of dopamine. I know there are drugs out there that do this, but I don't know how safe, or legal for that matter, they are. Do you think that this kind of action might work on me, the same way a pallidotomy does on patients with damage to their substancia nigra? I mean, do you think that less dopamine might balance the chemical signals in a brain with pallidal damage. Hope someone can help. Jacob
