Would Dopamine Agonists also have passed this "test"?

It does not look into the long term effects of this treatment,and until people are reassured on that point, it don't cut the mustard with this little bunny!

Good link though. Thanks.

Yea I looked around a bit more and on this forum some have mentioned that it triggered or made their restless legs worse.

Another weapon in the arsenal. Thanks for sharing.But yet again a very depressing fact. Those who had not previously been 'damaged' by dopaminergic drugs did better!

Another reason to ban ALL dopaminergic drugs for RLS asap.

A little more explanation in this article. I had never heard of this class of drugs.

The paper is by the same guy (Diego Garcia) who researched Dipyridamole as a treatment for RLS.
