>I know there are various dopamine enhancing >medications out there that are used for Parkinson's, but does anyone know if these are useful in depression and if they can be dosed to provide a steady level of dopamine without insomnia?

Both Mirapex and Requip have been studied in the treatment of depression, with good results.

>And if so, if there's any chance of a psychiatrist prescribing it?

Yes.

> lyme disease and babesia(2 years now) and made little progress with antibiotic treatement.

Has the Lyme disease been treated with doxycycline and ceftriaxone?

Has the Babesia been treated with atovaquone with oral azithromycin?

You really need to treat these diseases in a standard fashion. A holistic approach could be detrimental.

>I've thought of a nicotine patch, but don't know if that would be enough of a boost.

If you're trying to kick the habit and want a boost at the same time, try Wellbutrin-it is prescribed to lower cravings f or nicotineand is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor which gives this med a boost.
