This medication worked the best so far....but the excessive swelling of my feet caused me to stop. Was on this for 5 yrs. 2 mg daily.
Working / Worked
Worked well for first couple years with predictable severe drowsiness for 1/2 hr after 1/2 hr of dose so I had to plan activities like driving around that and caused dry mouth and insomnia; after about 2 years, insomnia got worse & had OCD/punding (couldn't stop projects like beading jewelry or putting puzzles together, etc. to sleep or eat), then had hallucinations (hearing voices) which went away as soon as I stopped Mirapex and switched to "Sinemet" & low dose Seroquel which aids sleep.

Mirapex is a helper to Synamet,...so I would call it a success.

was tough getting aclimated, but it works for the most part. I take 3 mg per day, but am beginning to have tremors in both my hand, leg and torso even after taking meds. Am thinking it may be time to discuss other options in addition.
