Hi, I am new here. I have been on .5mg mirapex for two years. Lately it has been hell. I am going through the sleep attacks myself. lately I was infront of a video store in my car when i was texting my nephew back when during texting I fell asleep for 10 min. A lady knocked on the window to make sure I wasn't dead. that was scary. I was home alone the other night watching tv with a glass of milk and 3 cookies. I put a cookie in my mouth an fell asleep for two hours. when i woke up the glass of milk was still in my hand and the cookie was still in my mouth all disolved running down my chin on to my chest. I have been trying to contact my doctor but he is away for the holidays. So i guess I can say THIS IS NOT GOOD!
