Natural Dopamine Antagonists

When I first started into my research, it seemed that every online RLS community, or article I read online, talked about the approach that scientists were taking due to the connection they've drawn between dopamine levels and RLS.

Personally, I think they're looking in the wrong direction. The direction they should be looking at is the relationship between inflammation and RLS.

Dopamine may play a part in the long run, but it is a secondary concern. If you deal with the inflammation, you will be dealing directly with the primary cause. Take care of the inflammation issue and eventually everything else will fall back into place.

It's not unlike a person that gets into a fight and gets their lights punched out every time they get drunk. The primary issue is not their inability to fight - the primary issue is their drinking. If you can get them to give up drinking for good, there is a decent chance that the fighting will end as well.

With RLS and inflammation there is a direct connection. Dopamine may be involved, but I don't believe it's something that should be pursued as a primary issue.

Having said that, I'm still presenting this informational page for those of you that are interested in the relationship between dopamine and restless legs.

For those of you that haven't visited the other pages on this site that have information about dopamine agonists, I'll first introduce some basic information about dopamine and dopamine agonists before I go into the various natural agonists that you can try.
