Yours actually seem quite mild, so don't worry too much! At least you know about the compulsivity and you can stop the medication if you feel problematic behaviours developing.

The dopamine agonists do provide good symptomatic relief in most people.

I can't take them now, but my symptoms have decreased in recent years. They still disturb my sleep but not as severely. I am doing a special yoga, having acupuncture and taking some Chinese herbs and that all seems to help too.
