I am surprised that this was prescribed by your neurologist. This last statement is WRONG! When Mirapex was first approved in 1997, the approval letter stated "for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's disease" (quoted from the FDA approval letter dated July 1, 1997). It has gotten a lot of attention for RLS because of recent direct-to-consumer advertising. The RLS indication was only approved last year.
