I started taking Mirapex approx. two years ago and was very reluctant to take it at first due to the potential side effects of falling asleep suddenly and compulsive disorders. I can say that it has been effective. I went without it for a short time and noticed a definite change in my mobility and other PD symptoms. I did not have any issues re falling asleep but question that I eat compulsively.
Mirapex discontinued... What a change! in a matter of weeks my cumpulsive behaviours are gone!!!

It usually works if I take it about an hour before bedtime but sometimes it takes about 23 hours to get to sleep.
