> Why are dopamine agonists so novel if we already have drugs like Nardil that have dopamine reuptake? Many people still don't respond to MAOIs either.

I don't follow the theoretical side of psychopharmacology, mostly because I don't think the science is advanced enough to actually be of help. In other words, I would agree with the initial assessment of the study, LOL. But I don't know everything and I'm not a scientist.

Anyway, one thing I have noticed is the large number of people on this board who praise MAOIs, mostly Nardil and Parnate, despite the serious side effects and the spate of newer SSRI/SSNI drugs. I'm a prime example -- Nardil is the only non-addictive drug that ever really helped me, and I took it for about two years until I had to stop due to side effects. I was willing to stay on it, even though I really got a lot of the side effects.

So, I'll leave it to the more technical-minded whether that is at all helpful, i.e. an anecdotal statement that might support Mirapex usage.

Also, I have taken Mirapex, 1 mg as needed, for Restless Leg Syndrome in the past (I now use Requip); it gave me no noticeable side effects and stopped RLS completely.
