RLS--Shortness of breath

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone:

Has anyone suffered from shortness of breath after starting Mirapex or

Restoril, particularly 24-48 hours *after* they took it? If so, how long

did it last?

Many thanks,

Hal

I had shortness of breath and suffocating feelings with Mirapex and had to

stop using it.. It was very scary.

Shortness of breath is not associated with the usual dosage of Mirapex

or Restoril, to the best of my knowledge. If the shortness of breath

persists, I suggest seeking medical assistance.

If I remember correctly, you were taking full Parkinson's disease

dosage, which we discussed at the time. Please correct me if I'm

mistaken.

Your memory is correct. I started out with the full dosage and cut it back to

..125 mg. I still had the same effect with shortness of breath, and no longer

take Mirapex.

I had that problem with Permax. It never went away so i made the Permax

go away.
