Mario and Barb, thanks for your replies! The MDS took away domperidone because it wasn't going to help with the diziness and imbalance (which was why it was prescribed by another doctor / not for nausea). My mother is suddenly experiencing sweating, sleepiness, shaking. Could that be the temporary result of immediate withdrawal from mirapex (from 1.5 mg/day to none the next)? Should it be tapered off gradually? She stopped cold turkey on Thursday. Glad to hear paxil is useful. I don't mean to post so frequently today, but I am concerned for my mother and the MDS is unavailable: its Saturday.
