10th day off Mirapex but it was pure hell getting here.
After 20 years on Mirapex during which time my dosage was quadrupled, a well known sleep researcher informed me that I was going through augmentation and needed to come off of the drug. Unlike other neurologists who sometimes bridge their patients with a less addictive drug during the Mirapex weaning

Mirapex
I am on mirapex. If I go on a different med do I gradually stop the mirapex first?

Methotrexate by injection? Help.
Told me 3 weeks ago to stop it for a week and take
MiraLax
. I'm taking the
MiraLax
but very afraid to start back with MTX. Have appt. with Rheum. Nurse Practitioner in Thursday. A few of you here have mentioned taking shots of MTX -- how does that work?

If mirapex is augmenting will switching to another dopamine such as Requipt help?

Can't afford extended Release Pramipexole
My GP did switch me over to extended release but it only comes in the name brand Mirapex and my insurance won't cover name brands so the cost is $400 for a month supply so that's not and option I can't afford it. So I left a message for my GP to see if there is another drug we can use, If anyone knows

My question is about side effects of carbo/taxol. How long do they last, any clever management strategies out there?
Any suggestions on managing symptoms (giving her compazine, torodal for pain,
miralax
for constipation, love/kindness/and back rubs for the loss of spirit). Any thoughts on holding up hope? I am feeling lost myself. thank you all

RLS and epidural! Oh the surprise I had!
I'm 25 years old and have had RLS since I was a kid. I had a baby a couple weeks ago and was very surprised when I had a terrible RLS attack after the administration of an epidural. It was so bad that instead of feeling "pressure" indicating when I should push I used my RLS worsening as the indicator

The only thing I have found that works is Mirapex if I don't take those I don't sleep

My PD effects my right side with stiffness, tremors and toe curling. This seems to effect my driving but am also noticing reaction time
issues to traffic situations. Do others have this? Currently on azilect and mirapex only. Mirapex is 3x a day. How long can one expect to drive without having to give up license? Is there a different drug that may help with driving?

I have had severe muscle spasms since before C-spine surgery in 06 because these spasms/seizures began in the neck & now over entire spine..
--After every type of med & therapy pain is worse resulting in 'seizures' at random points near the spine that result in trips to ER for relief. My regular Pain Management doc started me on MIRAPEX 3 weeks ago. No change in pain but have been dizzy, feeling as if floor's falling out from under me and

Wed, May 21... University of Florida.....my last hope Anyone been on a high mg of Mirapex for years and made it off???
I'm sorry my comments were short a few days ago. No sleep for 4 or 5 days. I read and think about everybody's comments and I appreciate the time you took to write them to me. Things just got overwhelming. The doctor herself called me from USF when I asked if they used opoids to quit Mirapex. She

Hello Everyone.I am seeing my G.P. in a few days time and am considering asking her for Mirapex E.R. I have tried ropinerol and it was OK
but it sometimes gave me nasty symptoms like nausea and fainting. As I'm on my own I found this worrying. I tried Neupro patches next which was a disaster because after 6 months I developed a dreadful skin reaction. Since then I've been relying on 10 m.g of Temazepam as well as two Co-codomol at

Has anyone heard of Mirapex after long time use making symptoms much worse? After three years use I am off of it and many symptoms gone.
I was so disabled I couldn't stand for more than few minutes...stooped over and used a walker. After four days of reduced dose of a Mirapex started to feel better. I had started to get freeze step, very stiff, shuffled walk, etc;. All of that is gone . Went for second opinion four weeks ago and dr.

Oh! The joy of being a zebra!
Of course, the fine print on the
Miralax
bottle says that hives and itching are rare, but can happen with
Miralax
. And if one does develop hives and itching to stop the prep, and report to the ER. So . . . I fully expect to have to "blame" the ER doc (as he anticipated.)

PLMD and reasonable accomodation. I am being treated for PLMD and recently started taking.25 Mirapex. It is working well, but I still am
having trouble sleeping, and somedays feel like a worn out dishrag. There is a work meeting coming up in a couple of months that will last 3 days from 8 to 5. If i am having a dishrag day, i won't be able to deal with a day long meeting. Currently, i work at home, so i can nap if i need to during the
