Advice & Tips
It works, but not as well as the Sinemet. My neuro always had to increase my meds after about 3 months as my PD symptoms would become worse. Even then, before the med increase, I still had was not under control. The Sinemet has been much more effective.

Advice & Tips
the side effects seem to come and go in cycles. The only compulsive behaviors that I have deal with food. It seemed that I had no control. I have gained some 30 lbs. I go through cycles wiht sleep. At times I can't seem to get enough sleep. Then, the cycle will reverse and I can't go to sleep at night. I feel sleepy, but for some reason, I don't want to go to sleep.

Advice & Tips
Thus far, the cure is still better than the ailment. Being on Mirapex is better than being on Sinemet which terrifies me because of the side effects that are irreversible.

Advice & Tips
the symptoms seem to occur in cycles. When I first began Mirapex, the side effects hit me all the time. Now that I have been on Mirapex several months, the side effects seem to come and go without notice.

Advice & Tips
I had been on Neupro when I was placeld on Mirapex. The mirapex was not as effective as the Neupro patch had been. Additionally, the mirapex worked much slower and benefits took longer to arrive. For me, taking the Mirapex alone was not enough. I did not see better results until Azilect was added several months later.
