There is something about the agonists that I don't like. It is mostly subjective, but there is something. I just can't put my finger on it, as they say. I took it for about six years, worked up to way too much (>30 mg/day), started to get Dk, and quit cold turkey with no problems (switching to levo/cardo). But it left me exhausted and very sensitive to light. I just don't trust it. -Rick

3mg, i think, is the minimum effective dose, i could be wrong. what does your neuro say?
i'm not taking it but i know a few people that have taken it for years and they seem to tolerate it.
