Lisa I was dx'd at 33 and am now 37. Mirapex was the first drug they tried, caused me a lot of anxiety side effects but everyone reacts differently to these agonists. Read the side effects for all thses drugs. Also tried REQUIP & PERMAX but they made me very naseus. After a year of med trials SINEMET and COMTAN did the job. Don’t let anyone scare you way from SINEMET as it literallyy gave me my life back.
