another comment regarding sleep attacks and mirapex - I normally drove in excess of 50,000 per year on my job, with many very long days, no sleep etc. I NEVER had any problems staying awake or knowing when it was time to pull over, until I went on Mirapex. I fell asleep driving 3 different times - with no warning that I knew of. I discovered I can feel the sleep attacks coming on, but they don't feel like fatigue. I am not real sure how to describe them, but if you are on Mirapex, and feel the LEAST BIT sleepy, pull over immediately - don't think "It's only 3 miles home" etc., because if you have the attack, it will be soon. Generally now, if I pull over, I will wait 10 min - it seems like waiting a few minutes is all it takes to get over this, and then I am fine for the next several hours. I would suggest caution with this, I had no problems for 5 months after I went on Mirapex, and then had the sleep attacks for the next several months. I "think" I'm over them now, but I don't take any chances either bob aka tex
