Husband having DBS on Monday, scared but hoping for best. Anything to get him off of Mirapex and have some relief from his Parkinson's symptoms. After 25 years of marriage it has been the worse year and a half of our married life with gambling compulsions out of control. It has destroyed our marriage and trust. I would say Mirapex was a miracle drug as far as controlling his symptoms, but it destroys lives. Hoping no more Mirapex after the surgery and maybe our lives can be a little bit more normal!
