Selegiline + Levodopa are NOT dopamine agonists. Levodopa is the PRECURSOR to Dopamine, like Levodopa is the building block that promotes Dopamine production, Levodopa converts to Dopamine when its in the system.

And selegiline is for making Levodopa absorb better. Basically these parkinsons medications promotes your systems own production of dopamine, makes you produce more dopamine. And does not act on any receptors. So receptor downregulation or tolerance is not an issue with parkinsons medication

Yeah, indeed bhai you told me so before, in fact as I said the other day I've known Levodopa for a long time. I also remember reading papers that also confirmed Parkinson meds could help ADD and Executive Dysfunction. However, owing to my pathetic situation I won't be able to get them for quite a long time.
