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.

New to blog, but sufferer of RLS for many years
I only recently found this website. I first had RLS 50 years ago when I was pregnant. Over the years I read about RLS in many newspaper and magazine articles but it was only when Mirapexin became available on the NHS that I approached my GP. No medical diagnosis was offered but I was prescribed Mirapexin

Spaghetti test
Well the good news is that medication (
Mirapex
) has helped me get back around 90 percent of my spaghetti-twisting capability. How about you?

Self managing PD - Are we serious or not?
I’m back. With good reason though, inspired by a message I received, I decided to post. The following issues, in my opinion, are not being addressed properly within the whole pd community. (I am in the UK but this could equally apply anywhere). Ok here we go. (Another lengthy one) The drugs

Mirapexin
In the end I went to my neuro (I have Parkinson's) and he prescribed mirapexin (
mirapex
in US). It works great for ME. He increased the dosage which did not suit me but I empowered myself to regulate the meds to suit me and it works just fine now .

Has anyone experienced, or known of any PD patient with an impulse control disorder? My problem is skin picking.
I have gone off
Mirapex
. added 200mg of neurontin as well as an anti-anxiety drug - all to little avail. I have had 2 serious staph infections and the dermatitus has spread from scalp and nose to my chin and ears.

Pramipexole
Last year I suffered from restless leg syndrome for about 7 months. After seeing my consultant is was agreed that I take 0.088mg of pramipexole (mirapexin) to try and enable me to sleep. It worked. Brilliant. Slept every night since. Saw my consultant the next month and he decided on a program

Anyone else get tardive dyskinesia when taking Lomotil and Phenergan?
I also take 1.5mg
Mirapex
3 times daily and 150mg Topamax 2 times daily, in case their addition to the mix had something to do with the reaction. Is it common to have this type of reaction with this combination of medications?

Introduction, So much questions and no answers
My GP gave me in April pramipexle (
Mirapex
) as an experiment and at everybodies surprise it worked great. I have hardly any spasms (myoclonus) any more and am less stiff. After months of waiting I just got an daT-scan, which was negative. So no parkinson.

Questions and Answers
He explained that this kind of medication (Pramipexole or
Mirapex
) works a bit like cocaine (dope), it gives you a buzz and good feeling. So stopping in one go, isn't good for anyone.

Ok, so I am a PWP. The neurologist said "you have Parkinson's take these pills and I'll see you back in (3) months?!?!
I am currently taking
Mirapex
and Sinemet. I guess I am a bit overwhelmed, confused, and scared. Any suggestions as to where I go from here?
