Experiences with

Mirapex

I am wondering if anyone out there has went from Mirapex to Neupro and then back to Mirapex? I took a holiday from the Mirapex before i changed to the Neupro patch. Can or has anyone taken Neupro and went back to Mirapex without taking a vacation from Neupro?

I was on mirapex .50mgs for about 20 years. Worked great until it didn’t. Severe augmentation. I’m working with an RLS specialist who weaned me off mirapex and onto gabapentin. I’m currently take 400mg at 7pm and 600mg at 10pm. I stopped mirapex totally about a week ago.

When she tried to do without mirapex, it was a horrible experience. Has anyone ever tried to taper off mirapex using vitex? Thank you in advance

I am currently on mirapex and have seen a few people saying it’s bad. Can you tell me why

I warn everyone to stay away from Mirapex and Ropinole.

NEVER quit Mirapex cold turkey…….

I am now taking Mirapex as well as Pregabalin for my severe RLS. I had to stop using Sinemet because of the augmentation and now I am beginning to suffer the same with Mirapex. I am having occasional outbreaks of RLS in the afternoons and early evening . I cannot predict when this might occur.

Mirapex I think it's called over in the states

He told me you don't have to taper off the Mirapex, just use it when you need it. Last night I skipped the Mirapex and suffered continuous, powerful myoclonic jerks until 4a.m. I woke up at 8a.m. very tired [but to be fair I did feel rather more alert than recently.]

I am suffering so bad - the same as when i went off mirapex. I need to sdo something. I have been walking for 2 days and I can barely stand up. Please help. It is bad. I feel like I am dying

I've been of Mirapex for over a year. Also, per Sue's medication list, I take no problem drugs.

Currently I have been taking 100mg of mirapex a day, for the last 7 years. Prior to that in 2012 I started taking a miracle drug called Ropinirole, well that augmented after 10yr. I started Mirapex and started to have very mild augmentation. I changed it to every 12 hours.

I have not been to a neurologist since the one who started me on Mirapex and swore there would be no side effects. I would love to find a doctor who follows the Mayo Clinic treatment protocol. Is there such a person in Boise, Idaho?

I am on .375 mg of Mirapex 3 pills at night. I am doing well with exercise and diet also. I was considering doing the NAD+ IV therapy which is 5 days of 1000mg with a vitamin infusion with glutathione. Has anyone had success with this protocol?

Cheating with Mirapex poison some nights to get some sleep. Any ideas? Switch to Pregabalin, Iron infusion. I've been researching Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM. In particular Radix Paeoniae.

I will be testing again in 4 weeks, before I start weaning mirapex. My question is about side effects of high ferritin level. A couple days after the infusion I started having severe right hip joint pain to where I can hardly walk.

I have been taking Mirapex (Pramipexole) for it and it works well except that it has caused too much weight gain. My MDS just wrote me a prescription for Lyrica (for RLS). I wanted to know if anyone else has taken Lyrica? Did it work well and what are the side effects?

Mirapex and Neupro helped a little. Methadone made it go away, but now I live in a country where none of the 3 is available. After toying with the carnivore diet for a few months but cheating regularly, I decided to take it seriously. No more cheating.

According to many of you, I went off the mirapex too quickly. LotteM suggested I keep taking the Horizant and take a tiny dose of mirapex with it for 2-3 weeks. I'm okay with that since I still have some mirapex. I hate to do this without talking to my dr. But she is on vacation for a week.

I am currently still taking mirapex (pramipexole) but am planning on weaning off soon from the overwhelming advice on this forum. Here is my question, pramipexole is a dopamine agonist and my doctor has prescribed wellbutrin which is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor.
