I was on Mirapex when I was working...left the work force in 2000. I didn't stay on it long since I felt like a zombie and couldn't think or concentrate.
Then I was on Requip. I had a sleep attack on the Interstate at 65 miles and hour, but didn't realize that was what it was until I reached Paula's and told her about what happened. She told me about sleep attacks while driving and I quit that day.
I am back on Mirapex for about a year now. It is like taking a sleeping pill for me, but it is better than taking more carbidopa/levodopa...700 mg a day now. I could use more of both, but what I take is just enough and I don't want to up as long as I can put one foot in front of the other.
Although if I was still working I wouldn't take an agonist at all due to the sleeping pill effect.
