Funny that you should mention Mirapex, because I have a prescription for it sitting with my others. It is to treat "periodic limb movements" which are severe during sleep and occasional when I'm awake. My hesitation has been because of the dopamine thing.
I guess a little knowledge can be dangerous. All I understand about dopamine is that it is a chemical which affects us somehow, and linked to schizophrenia somehow, which my family has a strong history of with onset at age 35.
Could you explain to me if I should have any concerns or not in a simplified version?
