I googled for comments on Mirapex. I have been on it for a few years and didn't think it did much. Then one night I upped my dose by .25 and my meds kicked in like clockwork. I am now upping my dose as per my Neuro's instructions and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not so good. and looked up comments for some other input. No two people have the same experience (like everything else on the PD menu). All you can do is try it ( or not) and watch for the side effects. Compulsive eating, gambling, sex, and whatever else were mentioned by several people who had developed that problem. Hmmmm...yet another product from the Alice in Wonderland selection of brain treats.
