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?

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.

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

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

what should I do?
after taking mirapexin without success. I went on to Requip, slowly increasing the dose until I got to 8 mg, then I started get hallucinations, sparkly vision,hearing voices, etc. I reduced down to 6 mg and all those unwanted symptoms went. Went to see the neurologist who decided dopamine agonists don't

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?
