Boann - you are one of the lucky ones! The article includes evidence that not all people on agonists responded this way, but a significant number did. I am one who tanked on agonists; went off completely, but since have discovered that I need requip to soothe some symptoms that are otherwise intractable. So I am very careful with it.
I think that is what this study says - it confirms the misery some of us have experienced due to agonists, but doesn't promote their discontinuation - it just says be careful and pay attention to potentially dangerous side effects.
As we all know, PD is not a one size fits all disease - and neither are the drugs designed to control our symptoms.
