I did not have much success with dopamine agonists. I remember not sleeping well when taking those. I had vivid dreams and "acted out" frequently. I went to carbidopa/levadopa and did much better. I understand, though, that many people have had good results with that class of drugs. Good luck!

Pramipexole is designed to mimic the actions of dopamine in the body to aid in symptom relief. It is expecially useful for early treatment of Parkinson’s symptoms, especially in people less than 60 years old

Ruined my husbands and my relationship. He had behaviors with sexual obsessions. No one wants to say those things happen on the drug but they do.

I've gained about 20 lbs in about 5 months from Maripex.
