Mirapex can have terrible side effects. But.....it did stop Jamie's terrible tremor and muscle cramps. We kept him on one tablet a day until the day he died. It may be that the compulsions that occur at higher doses can be managed at lower doses that still positively impact symptoms. ------- Mary Ann (CG Jamie 68/28 with PD, died 11/20/07) www.bentwillowfarm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
