Dopamine agonists such as ropinirole, pramipexole, carbidopa/levodopa or pergolide are used and you have to monitor these drugs.
There are some issues with the use of dopamine agonists. There are conditions where the drug itself causes symptoms to increase in severity and/or occur earlier in the day. Monitoring the adverse effects of the drug and titrating a proper dosage is important for your daughter.
Take care!
Hi there. pramipexole is a non ergoline dopamine agonist given for treatment of restless leg syndrome. Certain of its side effects also like hyperalgesia or feeling exaggerated aches and pains and hallucinations of feeling things that are not there could be contributing to your hyper sensitivity to touch.
m going to have to go through my supplements and meds. The only new med is the Pramipexole .05 twice a day (Mirapex). The supplements are Sam-E, D 2000, A and Magnesium 250 twice a day. I'm going to cut the Pramipexole to once a day. Does anyone see if any one of these would cause this or is there a virus going around?
Has anyone tried Pramipexole (Mirapex, Mirapexin, Sifrol) for chronic pain? I have had low back pain for about 15 years now. I finally got someone to do an MRI back in June (I think, it was slightly before summer 2016) and they found a herniated disc at L4-L5 and a degenerated disc at L5-S1. The neurosurgeon decided surgery wasn't worth the risk and pain treatment was the best option.
Has anyone used a patch? The only med I take is pramipexole.
Yes I've tried Hylands and some other otc stuff but it doesn't work. Believe me I don't want to undo my clean days and I'd rather take the pramipexole than the ambien. I do appreciate you guys looking out for me. I'm going to ask mommymarie what the name of that cream is.
I have test results showing my dopamine level as low along with epinephrine, norepinephrine, glycine and taurine. What do you suggest as far as supplements?
Something interesting happened recently that both illustrates this and makes me think dopamine may have something to do with it.
First, let me make it clear that I am not a druggie. I've never taken an illegal, recreational drug in my life, not even pot (and I was in high school in the 1980s!) On a couple of occasions, however, I have taken peyote with Native Americans. The reasons for that are another story. The peyote church I attended was in Arizona, several hundred miles from my home.
My husband is taking clonazepam .05, Lomtrigine 200 mg and pramipexole dihydrochloride 0.25 for depression, anxiety and RLS. He hasn't been able to get out of bed lately and has missed a lot of work. Could this excessive sleepiness be due to the combination of these drugs? It is not that he doesn't want to get out of bed, it's almost as if he is drugged, which led to my question. This is not normal.
I appreciate the info on this and know what I have to do if I give in again. When I feel like using I'll just ask my wife to smack me in the nose and break it so I can get a dopamine dump and if it goes away just break a few fingers here and there who needs em anyway I can type with a pen.
So,i read researches on this area that says the dopamine agonists have been working well for those young people that the treatment with PDE5 inhibitors and psychological therapy has not worked.
So i decided by myself to take high dosage of pure vitamin B6 and my erection improved amazingly,but these high dosages can cause damage on the central nervous system after a time range.taking it into account i would like to do a doctor visit to ask to him a dopamine agonist,what do you think?
Anyway please note that dopamine is triggered when you are having fun and vice versa (even eating trigger dopamine production) or by directly stimulating the receptors with drugs... You can't just not swallow a precursor to dopamine and hope to give you a high moral boost or high sex drive... Anyway.. Rhodiola rosea might give you a little boost.
Please can one of the doctors help me. I desperately need sleep because I have been plagued by this horrible infliction for the past 2 months now. It can keep me awake most of the night & sleep only comes early morning when this funny horrible sensation subides.
My doctor has offered me tablets called Pramipexole/Mirapexin but I understand they are a brain blocker & I only take them when I am absolutely desperate.
It might be restless leg syndrome. RLS is most likely to involve lower extremities but can involve other body parts as well. I got a bad case of it towards the end of my last tx, 48 weeks of triple tx with Incivek. The RLS hit me at about week 36 and continued until about a week after I quit the meds. My internist prescribed a small dose of Pramipexole (a Parkinson's drug) for it but I hated the way it made me feel.
m using (Pramipexole) but I suffer a dizziness side effect. I need your help to use a medicine which have not such side effect. Thanks in advance.
This multiplicity of changes in the basal ganglia and dopamine function suggest fundamental effects of inflammatory cytokines on dopamine synthesis, packaging, release and/or reuptake, which may sabotage and circumvent the efficacy of current treatment approaches."
This is not good. :( And this is on top of numerous conditions I've had that cause low dopamine from numerous deficiency states to hypothyroidism.
You can increase dopamine naturally by eating foods that contain significant amounts of the amino acid tyrosine, which is a precursor for dopamine. Natural dopamine boosters are foods such as almonds, avocados, bananas (especially ripe ones), dairy products, lima beans, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Also, eating foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as fruits, veggies, especially watermelon and apples, helps by protecting neurons from free radical damage.

if you're getting low in dopamine, a lot of folks try using the precursor nutrients, such as tyrosine, or phenylalanine DL. It's found in chicken, eggs, milk and cottage cheese.
Tyrosine converts into leva dopa, and you could try mucuna pruriens for that, but dosage is sketchy on each brand.
L-dopa is the last stop on the train before dopamine, cuz from what I understand, you can't "take dopamine". You give your body the nutrient and it has to make the stuff.
Yesterday my doctor prescribed me Mirapex Pramipexole Dihydrochloride tablets 0.125mg. I took two before bed and no RLS! I slept for 12 hours! BTW I'm down to one 10mg oxyneo and one 5mg oxtcocet. Staying like this for another day and than hitting ground zero tomorrow. Praying it won't be to bad, but with this new med for RLS I think I'm gong to be OK.
Why do u target dopamine? just curious..choline is a supp for dopamine shortages in the system...
