Dave has been on Mirapex, after first withdrawing from Permax for a few days. His schedule is similar to those previously posted. Prior to Mirapex, his biggest problem was freezing. Since he is on Mirapex, the freezing has just about disappeared. He still falls occasionally, but that is when he is carrying something, going around a corner. But even the falls are less frequent. conclusion: Mirapex has been a miracle for him. hope it keeps up. We have not reached maximum dose yet.
