Hi all ..
I just had a quick question for all you pros out there ..
If Parkinson's is caused by degeneration of certain
dopaminergic neurons, and L-Dopa is given as a treatment ..
why isn't cocaine being used as a treatment as well or
as an alternative if cocaine prevents the reuptake of
dopamine. Wouldn't cocaine and L-Dopa cause the same
thing?
Thanx,
Lisa
