No studies: There are no studies that i know of which document serotonin or Dopamine levels during homeopathic treatment. The 2 paradigms of health and illness are very different. Other issue is that no one has proven that neurochemical imbalance directly causes depression, either. It would be an interesting study, but you'd need many well trained homeopaths, & patients willing to have lp's with treatment.

Could Phenobarbital be used as a treatment for the combination of severe RLS (whole body, with daytime spasms) and Dysthymia. I can't use SSRIs or TriCyclics, cause then the RLS goes bezerk. Phenobarbitol raises both Dopamine and Serotonine levels.
