Boann,
I apologize for misinterpreting your position. The statement you made that engendered my reply was this:
"Why are people so upset about the idea that one might experience withdrawal if one goes off a dopamine agonist? "
1. because its hell
2. because the study goes beyond the withdrawal itself and talks about the effects of agonists in general - even titrating down to a lower dose was proving harmful to patients. Makes it hard for a doctor to do their job when even just reducing the dose has so many negative consequences in some patients.
Dr. Nirenberg worked for years to get her story published in a peer reviewed journal - she knows it is the only way to be taken seriously by the medical establishment.
Lots of lessons to be learned here.
