Thanks for the posts, I had no idea that these drugs could improve cognition so well. Looks like its another option instead of stimulants if the current combo doesn't kick in.
I read on wikipedia that DA agonists can cause compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and even cross dressing?
I assume that didn't happen to anyone here or they would have mentioned it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pramipexole
"Several unusual adverse effects of pramipexole (and related D3-preferring dopamine agonist medications such as ropinirole) may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating,[10] even in patients without any prior history of these behaviours.[11] Other compulsive behaviors, such as excessive shopping and even cross-dressing, have been reported.[12] These side effects are thought to be linked to the D3 activity of pramipexole, as D3 receptors are heavily expressed in brain regions involved in mood, behavior, and reward."lol?
