Just curious whether things will plateau eventually.

We have tried three times to get off Mirapex and failed every single time...I have read it is harder to get off of that drug than to get off of heroin. Don't have experience with heroin, but can say we have a pretty high pain tolerance and could just not make it.
Search this forum as there have been several posts about this. I only know of 2 or 3 people who were able to get off of Mirapex, and one did it over the course of a year under medical supervision. Good luck.
