Smile Mirapex Side Effects and Dosing

Hi Chasmo—

Did you ever see lights like I am experiencing? I worked up to this dose over the course of two months. Perhaps that is too sudden, I'm not sure what the norm is for stepping up the dose. My doctor will lower it to .75 3 x a day—If I call. I'm just not sure what I should tolerate, I was hopeful my body would adjust to this. I'm concerned it won't stop the tremor at the lower dose, or significantly improve the muscle problems on my right side. I don't mind waiting it out, if I will tolerate it better in the long run. You had some improvement in tolerance even after a year, that encourages me.
I'm an advocate for being very involved in my treatment as well, you're right to encourage that.

If you don't mind sharing, what dose are you on now, and how do you feel on it? Is it relieving your Parkinson's symptoms?
Still I do understand each person's medication needs will vary, and there is no magic in a particular number.
Thanks for your input Charlie.

(I use Zofran as an anti-nausea—sometimes works, some days it doesn't).
