Ray,
You didn't attach an abstract above but that line of thinking is what brought me to the super sensitive DA receptors researching to begin with. I read a short article by Dr. Jay Goldstein. He theorized that those who reacted paradoxically to stimulants, did so because of hypersensitive DA autoreceptors. He specialized in treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and his theory included the position that the DA autoreceptors problem could be caused by CFS. Since I have CFS that was caused by a virus (definite viral onset), this all made sense to me.K
