I am on Mirapex now in the 18th month. In the first 2
weeks I went to sleep sitting at my desk at work. I awoke just before my
head hit the desk top.
there were two incidents like this. To avoid risk
to others and to myself, I have my wife drive.
My experience only adds heft to the statistical view of this
problem. As Bob Fink states, '..see your doctor...'

I have been getting individual
"disclaimers" like the above ever since I
posted the warning about the sleep
attacks with Mirapex and the other
similar drugs.
The attacks do not
occur in everyone who takes the medication.
When they do occur, however, they
occur suddenly, and without
warning. If you are, for example, driving a
car, it could be a disaster.
Please ask your doctor about this
problem.
Best,
Bob
