> I tried requip which has the same mechanism of action as mirapex. I found the cognitive side effects to be really bad. Requip tends to cause executive dysfunction because of reduced stimulation of the d1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex. The D2/D3 receptors are stimulated by the drug, but this actually reduces the amount of real dopamine in the synapse leading to a decreased activation of d1 receptors.
