Hi all, ive been diagnosed about 3 years now. I'm taking azilect 1 mg tablets and mirapexin 0.52 mg. finding sleeping can be biggest issue. Especially if I'm late taking medicin. 

I play tennis every day even twice.  I try to carry on as normal.

If you aren't having any side effects from the Mirapex you are very fortunate.   LOTS  of nasty side effects......I ended up with very swollen legs and excessive weight gain...45 lbs over 18 months.    Off Mirapex now for over 2 months and still have the swollen legs and can't sift the additional lbs. even though I am eating less ( lost appetite) and doing exercise....yoga, Pilates, boxing, etc.

There's one by Earth's Creation, you can get it on Amazon.  5mg Chewable PLUS has B6, which makes it 5X more effective.  Best part is, Zero grogginess in the Morning.
