| 3 | parkinsons disease | I have had bouts of severe shaking as well as times where I have had difficulty speaking and incidents where I was falling down | M | 29 | 7 days | 2/8/2005 | 3 | parkinsons disease | I have had bouts of severe shaking as well as times where I have had difficulty speaking and incidents where I was falling down | this medicine has some effect on controlling tremors but I still have some severe shaking during the day. I am very young and this has been very hard for me to deal with. Sometimes I do not know what to do with myself. Depression has been very bad. I lost my job do to this and It makes things so much more complicated because i now have to beg for medecine from the free clinic and charity. I would like some insight from some of you to tell me how to deal with this. | M | 29 | 7 days | 2/8/2005 | 2 | Fibromyalgia neurological twitching | I made 2 attempts to try Mirapex. Both were terminated within 48 hours due to severe side effects. During the early hours of the 2nd attempt, hives, itching and rash resulted in my needing to immediately discontinue using this medication. | Mirapex did seem to lessen the constant twitching. Unfortunately, the side effects made it intorerable to continue taking this medication. | F | 53 | | 2/8/2005 | 4 | RLS | It helps with my RLS, but so far I've had increase the dose because of ineffectiveness after a period of time. | F | 49 | 17 months | 1/25/2005 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Can't eat but taking them with food lessens the nausia. Periods of being very sleepy during the day. | This has made a big change in my life. I am so much better after 7 weeks of taking Mirapex. Wish I had known about this medication earlier. I am sleeping longer, my TMJ pain is gone, my IBS is gone, and I am more active. I feel much better!!!! | F | 57 | 7 weeks | 1/20/2005 | 1 | RLS | Abrupt awakening very early in the morning (usually around 4am) and then later more symptoms started that may have been due to Mirpex or may have been from lake of sleep; ankles, hands and fingers swelling; falling asleep during the day; clenching teeth at night; shortness of breath; weight gain | Could not get a doctor to believe that my smptoms were related to Mirapex since everyone raves about it for RLS but finally a sleep doctor agreed to switch me to Requip and life has done a 180 for me! | F | 44 | 18 months | 1/17/2005 | 1 | RLS | Extreme nausea and dizziness. | I started taking .25 mg and it didn't seem to help me sleep any better. In fact, it kept me awake at night so I was still tired during the day and I was extremely sick to my stomache and dizzy. When my dosage was lowered I still was having the same problem. I was just taken off of it. I refused to take it! Now my doctor is going to try something else. | F | 32 | 3 weeks | 1/11/2005 | 3 | RLS | extreme drowsiness during the day | I take 1mg mirapex prior to bed together with clonazepam and temazapam. I am trying to get off the latter 2 drugs. At the 1 mg dose, mirapex helps me sleep and eliminates pain from legs. Howev er, I wake up like a zombie. | F | 52 | 1 months | 1/10/2005 | 3 | restless foot | 42 | 2 months | 12/23/2004 | 5 | Parkinson's / suspect Fibromyalgia | Water retention / wieght gain / loss of consentration / falling asleep while driving / sleeplessness | Mirapex was prescribed for Parkinson's. I had to stop taking Mirapex when side effects became worse. However, Fibromyalgia like symptoms became MUCH worse without Mirapex. I would really like to see more people try Mirapex for Fibromyalgia. | F | 50 | 8 years | 12/8/2004 | 2 | fibromyalgia | Nausea and loss of appetite. Taking it with food seems to help the nausea, but not the appetite problem. Talk about a vicious cycle! | Don't see much, if any, improvement with this med. I still hurt as much as ever and still have non-restorative sleep (and horrible fatigue). I am no longer sleeping all day and I'm sure it's the mirapex, but now I'm awake and in pain instead of being able to go sleep through it. I'll give it until the refills are gone and then go on to see what the next experiment will be. | F | 39 | 1 months | 12/8/2004 | 1 | Parkinson's | Hallucinations, agitation, insomnia | F | 70 | 2 days | 12/7/2004 | 1 | RLS | Exteme mausea and vomiting that kept me up all night when I increase dose from .125 to .5. | Did not help my RLS at either dose and made me sicker than I have ever been | F | 52 | 1 weeks | 11/24/2004 | 3 | PLMD | Initially while adjusting my brain felt | Took Sinemet several years. On Mirapex over a year. Couple months ago went for weeks sleeping 2-4 hours a nite. Has improved again, 4-5.5 hours is norm. Take 1.5 in late eve and another at bedtime. My PLMD has progressed to flailing wildly even when dozing or just relaxed. Reluctant to switch meds due to torment during transition. | F | 53 | | 11/18/2004 | 4 | Parkinson's Disease | Seeing yellow spots occasionally. Increased pain perception. Itching.

After some time: insomnia, strange thought patterns, augmentation of symptoms, rebound of symptoms, being cold at night, | It was great in the beginning. As time went by, I had to increase my dosage. Then the side effects started. Eventually it stopped working on the PLMs, even with an increased dose. Side effects after 2 years were too much and have stopped taking it. | F | 45 | 2 years | 10/28/2004 | 4 | Motor control & cramping in feet | None | So far so good !! | F | 43 | 5 days | 10/21/2004 | 4 | parkinsons | none yet | F | 48 | 10 months | 10/2/2004 |
