I have been getting individual "disclaimers" like the above ever since I
posted the warning about the sleep attacks with Mirapex and the other
similar drugs.

The attacks do not occur in everyone who takes the medication.
When they do occur, however, they occur suddenly, and without
warning.  If you are, for example, driving a car, it could be a disaster.

Please ask your doctor about this problem.


Best,

Bob
