Increased Fatigue With Mirapex Er Dose Increase

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Elloree, SC

I recently increased my dose of mirapex ER 1.5 mg to 2.25 mg to try to get better pd symptom relief. I’m on day 9 and my fatigue seems to be getting worse especially in the afternoon. Will this get better or maybe the dose is too high for me? Also so far I’ve only noticed a little bit of improvement in my pd symptoms. What was a good dose for those of you on mirapex er? Does it eventually get better?
