  • Side effects
    Mild
  • Adherence

Dosage: 3 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I stopped Mirapex to try Mirapex Extended Release. Mirapex ER has been less effective. I have a mild tremor all the time now. It is like the Mirapex ER has taken out the highs and lows to give me a steady dose....but I think I prefer having those highs...when the Mirapex is definitely working to lessen the tremor.
