My Dr. wants me to try Mirapex. . . After reading ALL of the side effects, I have some reservation about taking it. Anyone out there that that can give some "real world" experience? Bill, I have been taking Mirapex for about a year and have not had a problem - -my feet do not get swollen, I do not fall asleep while driving, and I have not gained weight. I am now taking 6 mg of Mirapex each day - -along with 5mg of Eldepryl and Sinemet - - if I need something more. Go for it. nancy v iowa/on the way to Mexico
