Indigogo summed it up nicely, (don't mean your answer was boring Indigogo). I have been taking Mirapex for 4 years, starting at age 40, and would still rather take it and put up with the side effects, (fatigue, slight OCD tendencies, (resulting in a restraining order keeping me at least 50 metres from the local donkey sanctuary, damn they look good, did I say that out loud?)), than not take Mirapex at all.

Stay off the L-dopa till you need to but don't kill yourself or waste valuable time just to avoid a drug which you have no idea how you will react to anyway and will really help you.

Take care,
Neil.
