Hi,
can somebody explain to me what's the difference is between let's say amphetamines and dopamine agonists like pramipexole?
I know that pramipexole has side effects like daytime sleepiness which stimulants do not have. Why is that? Do stimulants like amphetamines
or ritalin only affect certain DA receptors while dopamine agonists hit ALL DA receptors?
If yes, does this basically mean that stimulants are better than dopamine agonists if you want to increase wakefullness and concentration?
Or can dopamine agonists do the same?
I'd be interested in trying pramipexole against depression cause some doctors use it against depression. But it also seems to have a lot of side effects.
I don't know how much sense it would make to try pramipexole when I have access to dexedrine and ritalin.
