> Dopamine isn't necessarily responsible for energy and motivation, those traits have more to do with norepinephrine. Dopamine agonists tend to make people sleepy, hypertensive and nauseated.

You know.. I was about to open a new thread about this. Why dopamine agonists causes sedation? Dopamine suppose to be a stimulating neurotransmitter, thus its agonists should cause stimulation instead! (I don't doubt it, of course)
Could someone with knowledge in psychopharmacy help me to understand this?
