I am trying to find a dopamine agonist alternative to Ritalin for adhd/problems with 'focusing' on a single task. Ritalin because of the schedule II status & triplicate prescriptions is a major hassle since you can't get refills. I have found that dexedrine & adderall make my attentional/focusing problems worse but Ritalin works perfectly.
I noticed that Mirapex & Requip only seem to affect the D3 & D2 subtypes of Dopamine receptors. Which subtype of dopamine receptor does Ritalin affect & which subtype of dopamine receptor is implicated in adhd attentional problems?
Why would a dopamine agonist such as Mirapex & Requip have somnolence/sleepiness as a side effect? I noticed Ritalin/dexedrine/adderall/wellbutrin all cause insomnia.
