Mirapex helped me a little bit for a little while in combination with the Sinemet. What I didn't like was the nausea and extreme sleepiness that would hit me randomly. I was in the middle typing a paper for school, and ended up "checking for light leaks" for what seemed like a few minutes. Four hours later, I woke up with a string of b's going across the pages and the keyboard clicking at me continuously. Apparently, I had completely nodded off in the middle and didn't know what I was doing!

The muscle pains seem to be part of the equation. I have them in my shoulders, neck and bicep muscles. The biceps always feel like I've been punched or walked into a doorway.
