| 3 | parkinson's | I started at .25 mg 3x/day and increased to 1.25mg 3x/day to control tremor. CAUTION: when discontinuing mirapex due to compulsive eating and decreased tremor control, I was told that I could just swap out Sinamet for the Mirapex. I had major withdrawal symptoms; depression, anxiety, frightened, nausea, diarrhea, tachycardia, uncontrollable crying, seeing flashes of "things" in my peripheral vision that weren't there, sweat pouring off me...it was horrible. Called the neurologist towards the beginning of symptoms and was told that my body just needed to adjust. He called back the next day, profusely apologizing, and had me go back on a 1/2 dose of Mirapex in conjunction with the Sinamet. 2 weeks later I am off successfully off the Mirapex. | F | 53 | 3 years 1.25 mg 1X D | 7/4/2016 | ||
