1. Signs or symptoms suggesting other parkinsonian syndromes.
2. Use of medications that may cause secondary parkinsonism, including but not limited to: neuroleptics, metaclopramide, alphamethyldopa, flunarizine, methylphenidate, cinnarizine, reserpine, or amphetamines in the last 6 months prior to Baseline Visit.
3. Use of dopaminergic medications within the last 3 months or for longer than 6 months prior to Baseline Visit.
4. Presence of dementia by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV criteria (R06-1340) or a Mini Mental State Examination (R96-2656) (Appendix 10.1) score less than 26 at Screening Visit.
5. Presence of major depression, as determined by medical history.
6. Active epilepsy (i.e., occurrence of a seizure) within the past year prior to Baseline Visit.
7. Electro Convulsive Therapy in previous 90 days prior to Baseline Visit.

9. Third degree atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome.
10. Congestive heart failure Class III or IV by New York Heart Association classification.
11. Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension at Screening Visit.
12. Stereotaxic brain surgery.
13. Clinically significant liver disease.
14. Clinically significant renal disease.
15. Any other clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition (e.g., angina, active neoplasm) that in the judgment of the investigator would interfere with the subjects ability to participate in the study or would jeopardize safe conduct of the study.
16. Breastfeeding.
17. Known hypersensitivity or intolerability to pramipexole.
18. Participating in other drug studies or receiving other experimental medications within 30 days of Baseline Visit.
