 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Article DRAFT:
[edit]Dopamine agonists are medications that mimic dopamine, a crucial neurotransmitter regulating bodily functions such as movement and emotions. This comprehensive overview explores their mechanisms of action, medical uses in managing Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome, and hyperprolactinemia, and their side effects, including nausea and potential compulsive behaviors. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing treatments and exploring new applications in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Despite their benefits, careful monitoring is essential due to potential side effects. This article serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and those interested in neurological and endocrine disorders, offering insights into dopamine agonists' therapeutic roles and future developments.

Instructor feedback:
While you have provided a nice executive summary of the article, I would recommend restructuring your sandbox. Currently, it is unclear what edits you plan to make and how those will integrate within the existing article. I would suggest bringing over portions of the published Wikipedia article and inserting your proposed edits (in distinctive font). This will better demonstrate how those edits will "fit" within the flow of the current article. I would encourage you to review the assignment rubric so you are clear what is being evaluated for this assignment. Don't forget that you need to include a minimum of two peer-reviewed secondary sources.
