HAVEN'T >SEEN ANY BENEFITS YET. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS KATHY Kathy, There should be plenty of messages on Mirapex in the archives by now, so you may want to seach them to get more input. To give a brief summary, most who have tried it are pleased with it and have had no problems. A few have had some problems mostly related to establishing a balance between Miriapex and other meds. I took part in the clinical trial and so have been on Mirapex for almost four years. I suffered no side-effects and presented a 25% increace in abiliity (the average was 27%). My triail dosage was 1.5 mg tid (4.5 mg per day). By the way, typing messages in all caps is considered "shouting" and generally not done :) Bruce 55/9 Sinemet CR & Mirapex * I am because I choose to be *.
