My father was diagnosed about a week ago. He is taking a drug called Mirapex. I guess that this drug is about 2 years old. He lives in Illinois and he needs to be active all the time - he worksout every other day. My question is - does anybody have any information about this drug? and what about the drug called levodpa? I have heard that l-dopa wears off after a few years which is why he is taking Mirapex? Any comments will be great.

Thanks for the newsletters on Web sites for PD. My Dad does not have a computer so I need to gather as much information on this as I can.
