Welcome to the Team, you have found a very special group of people to share your life (PD) with who will support you and be there for you.

I was on 3, but the hallucinations started to kick in so then I went down to 1.5 as directed by my doctor and I have been managing alright

I originally started off at 3mg before be to keep leveled during the day. I started to realize it was making me sleep less and act out in my sleep. My Dr. cut back the dosage to 1.5 and I have been on Mirapex about a year, no signs of needing an increase and no distinguishable side effects at this dosage.

Recommend you go over any changes in dosage and frequency every month with your Neurologists if you are having any side effects.

Hi Vick, I was on mirapex for quite A while. And my next neurologist put me on cARBODOPA 25mG/lEVODOPA 100MG. LET ME START OFF by telling you that i am n ot n ewe to this game. I was diagnosed with pd when i wasa 55. I just celebrated ?? 76 a momth ago. A lot of water has rolled under the bridge. I take3 tabs 5 times A DAY AN D A carbidopa 50/levodopa 200 at bedtime. i have noticed more folks are being precribed m irapex now, i don,t undrstand it but have ceaased to t ry to make an y logical sense out of it. it hits youj where youj live. it's a personal thin g . it is alot getting a florida sandspur r in your underwear. YOU ca n live with it but it can reALLYget irritating at times.
