> I wonder why dopamine agonists usually cause sedation. It seems like anything that is pro-dopamine would be stimulating. I wonder what mechanism is at play that causes dopamine agonists to be sedating. Maybe they slow down the release of actual dopamine? Dunno.

Yeah without being able to be technical,i have read over and over these two things,

--Dopamine can be both stimulative as well as inhibitory.

-- Gaba can be sedating,as well as stimulative.Too much gaba can greatly increase anxiety.

Makes finding help a lot easier eh,stinks.
