I've been taking Pramipexole prolonged release for about four years now.

It works quite well, but it makes me sleepy. That doesn't matter because I don't drive anymore, and I'm retired.

In fact it's a good thing, it saves me lots of money. I like to buy things on Ebay, but sometimes when I'm about to bid, I fall asleep and wake to find the auction ended! I get mildly annoyed with myself at first, then glad I haven't spent the money.
