Notes:
Summary The group agreed on the facts · that unwanted sleep onset has been observed after non-ergot as well as ergot dopamine agonists, · that patients on these drugs need to be warned, · that patients who have experienced sleepiness already must not drive a car unless the dosage is lowered and sleepines has vanished, · that a genetic predisposition for narcoleptic cataplexy has to be ruled out, · that predictors of so-called sleep attacks need to be explored individually with the help of sleepiness scales and collectively in a carefull study, respectively.
