[Fwd: Question about Mirapex]

[Guest guest]

Dear Group:

I received this message from a non-member of the group. Since there are so

many of you in the group that are taking Mirapex or have taken it, I thought

that some of you that have could respond to her message. Please send any

replies to her at her private address (pnjlersch@...), not the group

address. Thanx

I tried Mirapex after Sinemet started becoming ineffective and an added dose

only made things much worse. I built my dose of Mirapex up as prescribed, 1-2

weeks of .125mg.; 1-2 weeks of same twice/day; 1-2 weeks of same three times a

day. No relief and boy did I get sick!!!

Yuk! I'm now trying 2 darvocets at night with another earlier in the day, if

needed. Better, but I still pound on my legs before the evening is over.
