> 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.

Why is Trivastal the only one not asociated with sleep attacks?
