I have experienced panic attacks when trying several of the agonists. These attacks were less severe on Mirapex and Requip and stopped when I went off the medications. Most recently I tried Permax and have had much more severe anxiety attacks and depression which started after I had been on medication for about 6 wks. The anxiety and depression continues a week after tapering off Permax. I am not on any other medication at this time, having had PD for about 6 years. I don't think that the possibility of anxiety side effects are explained well enough by drs., especially the potential severity of my Permax reaction. I would appreciate hearing if others have tried this drug and have experienced such side effects and their treatment. My empathy to all of you who are experiencing medication problems and my appreciation for your help.
