Then she handed me a bag full of different samples of all kinds of dopamine agonist drugs. She told me to take each sample until it was used up, then try another, then another. I'm sorry, but this is not a real valid approach and am not sure what taking all these different drugs would accomplish. My neurologist was at best "shooting from the hip". I wont be going back to see her.
you must have gotten more directions than just try them. what exactly did you get?? i've never actually read a post from anyone newly diagnosed saying they got multiple agonist samples. maybe things have changed.
