Advice & Tips
On the 13th I bumped up to 6mg. So far I cannot attest to any benefit or side effect (except the insomnia and sleepiness like Requip. Watching closely to the BIG side affects that I've been warned about. More later.

Advice & Tips
I just started Mirapex ER April 9, 2010. I will keep a weekly update to let you know what happens. This is a switch from 24mg Requip XL to 3mg going up to 6mg Mirapex ER. I should not experience any of the sickness because my brain is already used to 24mg agonist. Dr Dewey says I still need to watch out for the compulsive side effects, "they can start at ay time".

Advice & Tips
Mirapex made me extremely groggy; I would be unable to stay awake even when I wasn't tired. I would find my eyes closing and would have to lie down and sleep. I could not function, as I was constantly groogy and sleeping at inappropriate times.
