Abstract
Abstract With dopamine agonist monotherapy (pramipexole, ropinirole, or rotigotine), the problems that surface often differ from those encountered with carbidopa/levodopa as the initial drug. This chapter focuses on situations that may arise when an agonist is the initial and primary therapy for PD.
