Dopamine receptor agonists for Parkinson Disease (PD)

In the early stages of Parkinson Disease (PD) dopamine receptor agonists play a key role as they increase dopaminergic transmission at neostriatum. Drugs like bromocriptine, apomorphine, pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine are included in this category,

Thanks so much you’ve just explained a question that I’ve been searching for ages how it causes mania. 🥳

What is the difference between a dopamine receptor agonist vs a dopamine (etc) reuptake inhibitor like bupropion? How does the difference in mechanism of these impact a person? Can someone with parkinsons take a dopamine reuptake inhibitor for example and that still be effective? And can someone with anhedonia depression or ADHD take a dopamine agonist and benefit better cognitively?
