Encinitas, CA

I was diagnosed at 50, symptoms prob started at age 48. Has anyone tried mirapex or sinemet as needed (only taking prior to certain physical activity) with any success for stiffness and bradykinesia? In also on rasagline. Thx!

No problems with the Mirapex. Not a big fan of Sinemet(too much OFF time and upset stomach. Rotary works well for me. Am currently trying to fine tune the dose.

Any side effects with mirapex? Was mirapex added to lower rotary dose? Sinemet gave me nausea and facial numbness, but may try lower dose.
