Dopamine doesn't just make itself. Nutrients such as L-tyrosine, ferrous iron and pyridoxine are essential for the formation of dopamine. The formation of dopamine increases or decreases according to their concentrations. see Biochemistry of Parkinson's Disease http://viartis.net/parkinsons.disease/biochemistry.htm
