My neurologist said that I should not come off of the Myrapex for surgery. She said to make certain the hospital maintained my regiment during my stay after the surgery.

Yes, you should not stop using Mirapex ER suddenly. If you decide to stop using Mirapex ER, form a plan with your doctor for gradually tapering off your dosage to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Always follow your doctor’s instructions exactly when taking Mirapex ER.
