Has anyone ever tried this med?  Apparently it was developed as an anti-viral drug, but was found to help with symptoms of Parkinson's.  It is a dopamine agonist, and tried as an ADHD med, but the side effects at the dose they were using were severe.  One doc at Harvard decided to try using it at a lower dose (liquid form) and supposedly it has great effect with very few, if any, side effects.  I read about it in "Delivered From Distraction" - Dr Hallowell thinks it is potentially the best drug out there for ADHD, but the word hasn't spread yet....

I was just curious if anyone had used it and if so, what were/are thier experiences.
