>What are the dangers of dopamine agonists such as Requip other than the side effects you mentioned? The impulsive behavior side effect seems like a step in the right direction for me, seeing as I'm the exact opposite.
The most common adverse effects are nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness, dizziness/fainting, hallucinations and fluid retention in the legs/ankles.
>I don't feel like I can follow my doctor's advice exactly because I can't get my thoughts across to her. I say I'd like to try Parnate, she says no it's dangerous and puts me on Seroquel, and my mind goes blank. I'm way too afraid of any such conflict.
Is there any chance you can see a different doctor? You need someone that you feel comfortable with. I appreciate that this may be difficult due to your social anxiety.
