CTenaLouise,

I did have some issues while taking Mirapex. Mainly buying things I didn't need, I became more impulsive, I would obsessively clean my house and I also became more anxious and had lower leg swelling. I thought the anxiety was due to my circumstances, but since I have been OFF of the Mirapex I have been less anxious. Also, my legs are no longer swelling up and I actually have ankles again! I wouldn't say that my experience was horrible, but there was definitely room for concern and I don't think that I would take Mirapex again as long as there are other medications out there that would work for me and not cause the symptoms that I was experiencing.

Thanks for sharing your concerns.

Evonne
