Bob, I too have been taking Mirapex. I am on my fifth week and tomorrow
start on.75 mg and the 6th week will be topping out at 1.5 mg.  Have not
noticed any side affects yet although I think
I am a rare case being I haven't taken any drugs previously.  I'm  following
the list for Mirapex reports and would appreciate any informationyou have in
the future.  Best wishes to Cecily
PS --I haven't noticed any benefits from the drug yet.
