Be careful! Mirapex (Pramipexole) can cause episodes of "sleep attacks". This is very hazardous and, at the very least, the use of this drug (and Ropinrole does the same thing), means that the patient should not drive a vehicle. In some areas, the use of Mirapex and/or Ropinrole is grounds for suspension of a drivers license. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
