I tried switching agonists to Requip. That particular trial ended miserably (Off all morning, dyskinetic all afternoon and evening). When I restarted Mirapex I increased the dose very slowly and stopped well short of the previous dose. I now take ¼ of a 1 mg tablet with each of six doses. My ankles have a hint of swelling. The situation has been stable for about a year now. Regards, WHH 56/38/37
