Advice & Tips
Save this medicine for the time when you really need it, i.e. when the more benign dopamine agonists no longer work because it can cause dreadful nausea & syncope. I spent more than 2 years experimenting with the dose to find what would give me the greatest benefit with the least unpleasant side effect.
Cost: < $25 monthly
