Experiences with

Miralax

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. :(

I have been diagnosed with bile reflux disease and erosive gastritis which the doctor states is being aggravated by my gastroparesis. According to the GI gastroparesis is rather common in PD and I know that I have been diagnosed with it for at least 2 years longer than I have with PD. Anyway, if I

Every since the DBS I fall more, I m taking Carbadopa./ Leveadopa- reg and CR's Miripex reg and a CR. I m not sure what to think We having trouble find the right doasge with the meds and I am working weekly with the docotors I wondering if taking to much Mirapex could cause this?Wondering if anyone has

Mirapex is 1 of the 3 meds i take daily. I have found it is the Mirapex that's causing me to have a bad sore gut all the time. I live on crackers and tums to keep the acids in check and not feel sick to my stomach. I am new to this, is this something that will fade or what.... Also, the Sudden Sleep

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 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

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

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

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

I don't know how to help my husband. He's 69, had PD for 5 years, on Sinimet and Mirapex and also has Lewey Body Disease. His walking has gotten really bad the last few weeks to the point he can hardly move even with his walker. Neuro refers him back to family dr. who puts him on steroids which doesnt

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 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

I was diagnosed on the morning of April 10th of 2009, at the age of 52.. In February of 2009 I finally admitted that my symptoms were something to be addressed not written off as fatigue, stress or whatever reasons I had been using to that point. My symptoms were only on my left-side, a very slight intentional

Hello All! I just found this web site a few minutes ago, but it looks like it could be helpful for sharing information and helping each other along on this sometimes bumpy and always adventurous road that we call Parkinson's Disease. I'll tell you a bit about me, just to get started. I'm hoping

Hi again all, So yesterday we took Dad for his appointment with the neurologist, he sure noticed some major changes in my Dad. I hate this disease. He decided to try him on a drug called MIRAPEX. In addition, I started Dad on co-enzyme Q-10 about three weeks ago. Does anyone else have

My Dad has to stop taking levdopa, and now stopping mirapex. Levdopa was useless, and mirapex was causing him to be very drowsy, extremely unsteady, his speech is way worse and he was having terrible stomach aches. I JUST spoke to the neurologists secretary and she told me he would be open to trying
