Mirapex and all other synthetic dopamine agonists, except Servier's Trivastal (piribedil), can cause sudden sleep attacks, even while driving a car - you can check the case reports on Pubmed. I regard this as a serious drawback. Mirapex has also been associated with hypersexuality and obsessive gambling.

The ergot-derived dopamine agonists, like cabergoline, all carry the risk of heart valve damage, except for lisuride.

If you're looking for a truly, seriously dopaminergic med, you're looking for an amphetamine.


Current meds: sertraline 200mg; amitriptyline 50mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-10mg.
