Hi, I had severe hair loss from Mirapex and was only able to prove that it was the agonist by going "cold turkey". My hair regrew but with a thinner texture. My situation was documented by my dermatologist and can be found at J. Am. Acad. Dermotology Vol. 55 n. 5. He also reported it as an "adverse event" to the drug company. It is listed as a rare side effect in their literature. For what it's worth, I've taken Selegeline with no hair issues. And am currently taking Requip with no hair loss issues.
