I'm afraid there is no way to eat the cake and have it too. When you use dopamine agonists (direct (like pramipexole, bromocriptine) or indirect (like amphetamines and methylphenidate)), you are taking a risk of downregulation.

If you use dopamine *ant*agonists, you are taking a risk of sensitation (leading to TD).

I think you mean antipsychotics. DA agonists do not cause TD (Tardive Dyskinesia), antipsychotics do, especially the old (first generation) ones.
