Mirapexin and hot sweats anyone else with this.

[doddy]

I recently went onto the Mirapexin prolonged release tablets and have started to have very bad hot sweats mainly at night but sometimes during the day.

they wake me up at night and are very bad the sweat just pours off me. I am also on Sinimet. The other problem I have is very bad indigestion , which I Take Omeprazole.Anyone got any views on this thanks.

I didn't get that with Mirapexin, however, when I went on to the neupro patches. I was getting those symptoms as well.

I was waking up really hot in the night and also getting very bad heartburn / indigestion for which I too take omeprazole.

now I've been taking it for five or six weeks. The hot flashes have now gone unfortunately, the heartburn remains.

hi ftadh thanks for your comments I have lost weight as I have terrible indigestion problems with my medication

[ma4PDcure]

Yes. use of mirapex does make you sweat a bit and the reason behind it is that once the effects of the medication starts to wear off thats when you might feel more of these effects.

thanks for your comments do you have any other wearing off symptoms

[ma4PDcure]

Definitely. My main wearing off symptom if FOG( freezing of gait). Additionally I experience slowness, ridgidity, imbalance, mental slugginish, fatigue, somnolense. I have to take my meds every 3 to 4 hrs. Once the meds take effect I'm good to go for another 3 to 4 or maybe 5 hrs.

I am presuming you are female, have you gone through menopause? The night sweats and day sweats will feel like you have a fire at the core of your body. The symptoms can start as much as 10 years prior to menopause itself.

If that is not the situation, PD can also cause sweats, they are different than the type you have with menopause. Not as intense and for a shorter time frame, usually 10-15 min. in duration.

hi susie01 i am gone tru menopause d sweats r all at nite not durin day yes 10 or 15 mins max must b tabs im on sinemet since march

Hello again,

I take Azilect, sometimes the hot flashes are during the day. some are in the evening. They are not as intense as menopausal hot flashes, I don't think mine are medication induced so much as just being a part of Parkinson's.

I have also read that people with PD sweat more, and tend to have oily skin on the face, which is true for me. The rest of my body has dry skin but my face and hair are oily. Sometimes I will have acne, much worse than when I was in my teens I have to be very regimented in my skin care. Guess the good part of that is the lack of facial wrinkles which help me to look younger than my age! Gotta find the silver lining to this dark cloud of PD!
