I have been searching for a class action lawsuit against Mirapex as I am having terrible and so many side effects. I need help but don't know where to go or how to do it. Anything you can suggest I would be so grateful. Sincerely, Guthriedog

What country are you in? I know if you google "Mirapex and lawsuits" you will find some class action suits for the USA.

Mirapix will ruin your life if you take it and are unaware of its action on you. Don't gamble and don't let your sexual urges get you in domestic trouble. If you control the drug instead

of it controlling you, maripex is a good drug.

Mirapex is the correct spelling and this is NOT a good drug at all. It is dangerous and causes many compulsive behaviors and not just sexual, gambling, and shopping addictions are real with this drug and they ruined my life. I have lost 6 figures in terms of money from this drug. I would love to sue these guys that made this because they know about these issues. I'm not saying that EVERYONE is affected by the side effects of this drug but the ones that are affected suffer with CATASTROPHIC damages to their lives INCLUDING SUICIDE. I have been close on many occasions as a result of this drug. Don't pass it off as something you can CONTROL because I've tried and you CANNOT CONTROL these urges when you have them. I was a totally different person on this drug and I feel my time to sue them has past because I took it for many years and then stopped after I realized how much it changed who I was as a person. PLEASE don't tell me to CONTROL my urges with this drug. IT IS WAY MORE THAN THAT I PROMISE YOU.

I took Maripex for several years starting in 2000 I think and like you I did some things that ruined the quality of life for my wife and she nor I actually knew that the changes were from the side affects of the drug. Berringer Englheim did settle several lawsuits for large sums and if you get a lawyer and file in the U.S. after they do a forensic accounting of your losses. The kicker was that they knew about these bad triggers for compulsive behavior years before starting to put a warning in their literature.

they slipped out of any big settlements if you knew or had been given the warning pamphlet with your prescription and kept taking it, so if you stopped immediately upon finding out you have done some things wrong, got help and went on to another drug. I think they still manufacture and sell it ....find a lawyer by looking on line and try to make your life better and get some of your money back.

Dear Diz17,

I understand exactly what you've said. I remember one specific time when I was gambling and wanted more cash. I couldn't stop myself but as it was happening, I found myself watching me at the ATM and couldn't do anything to help. Sounds weird and I'm not a believer in the paranormal (In the middle of a casino?)
