Is there any help after a shopping addiction while on Mirapex?
I was on Mirapex for about 9 months, and ran up about $30,000 due to shopping addiction. I've been off of it for about 6 months and just now getting to where it isn't a daily struggle. Does anyone know if there is legal recourse for this side effect? The doctor did warn me of possible OCB. But have to

DR B REPLIES....... NEUROLOGISTS OUTCOME
From Dr B.... Unfortunately, the top neurologist who you saw is clearly not a top RLS specialist. His advice is absolutely incorrect and as you have noted it should not be followed. You are already on a high dose of Mirapex (Mirapexin) and are developing augmentation (worsening of your RLS from

Help with pain meds for Rls.
I would love to know what pain meda works for any rls sufferers. I have awful pain ESP at night which means no sleep! I am on Mirapex which helps but not with the pain. Going to my Dr tomorrow and want to suggest some meds to her. Oh for some sleep and relief from pain. :(

Parkinson's Related Laryngeal Dysfunction During Sleep?
Can anyone explain what Parkinson's related Laryngeal Dysfunction is? I was having problems breathing during sleep (according to my husband) & my doctor ordered a sleep study thinking it was apnea. It came back that I don't snore, very mild apnea (2 central, 2 obstructive, 2 mixed, 7 hypopneas). But,

Is PD better or worse with medications?
I was DXed in 2009.. I have thus far tried 2 meds: Mirapex and Requip and the side effects far outweighed any therapeutic effect. In fact there was not any therapeutic effect AT ALLl in both cases! So at present, I am not on any pharmas for it, but I do take an herbal (nervine tonic)remedy called

Have you Impulsive Compulsive Behaviour? Do you know anyone who has this? Do you know anyone on Mirapex or Requip. Promipexal or Ropinirole?
I hope you will trust me with your life, if we by sharing our tales of woe about these sad meds we have to take, it could help the Pd people following up in our footsteps, be brave, share your stories, we don't need names, we are all in the same boat, I think it's called the Titanic. I know this is

I'm on Sinemet 25/100 (1 1/2 tablet) 4 times a day. I can honestly say it doesn't seem like my symptoms ever change, I don't feel like I
have on/off periods. My Neuro is going to have me go off my meds for 48 hours then have me come into the office and run me through the usual tests. Then he is going to medicate me and then check me again to see what changes, if anything. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in July 2010 and initially

The hidden shame of drug-affected behaviors resulting from Dopamine agonists.
Dopamine agonists such as Requip and Mirapex can cause Obsessive Compulsive and addictive like symptoms. Documented research has acknowledged the facts. The problem is the data is skewed simply because there are so many unreported cases. The shame and embarrassment prevents PD patients from reporting

Has anyone experienced, or known of any PD patient with an impulse control disorder? My problem is skin picking.
Has anyone experienced, or known of any PD patient with an impulse control disorder? My problem is skin picking which began about 6 months ago concurrent with an outbreak of some kind of dermititus. I have gone off Mirapex. added 200mg of neurontin as well as an anti-anxiety drug - all to little avail

How do you deal with gastroparesis?

Anyone else get tardive dyskinesia when taking Lomotil and Phenergan?
I have been really sick lately and was given Lomotil and Phenergan, both of which I have taken separately in the past with no problems. This time I had severe episodes of tardive dyskinesia which I found rather disturbing. I also take 1.5mg Mirapex 3 times daily and 150mg Topamax 2 times daily, in case

The Dark Years (warning my blogs are not all full of cheer&hope)
I don't know why I write these blogs. I guess it more of a therapy for me to vent my feelings. Parkinson's, I hate that word. I read a lot of hopes for cure, great attitudes and I don't want to bring any one down ..So if you don't want to read a non-positive blog don"t read this. I am here to tell

You said it Huey; one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick. Sounds like Mr. Lewis had some knowledge of Parkinson's drugs. MIRAPEX a nonergot dopamine agonist, was the first drug prescribed for me.Side effects include: extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even
