It was 56 years old became obsessive compulsive spent my life savings on sex and sexual body rubs bought things I didn't need. My wife divorced because of this I became homeless and went to jail all because I wanted to deal with Parkinson's, I was on Selegeline, neupro patch 9 mg and 1620 / 100 Carbidopa levodopa that's why I asked if too much dopamine is bad for you I would say yes lost 80,000$

Yes all parky meds can lead to obsessive compulsive behaviour your Dr should have warned you about this if they didn't then they are at fault...

I've been good about spending money the last 2 weeks nothing. Then today I did buy an outfit to go to rehearsal dinner however I tried on everything I use to wear and nothing fits. I've lost about 10 pounds in last couple of months
