Barb - I am in my second week of mirapex. I was weaned off Parlodel. The first three days, I was taking 5 mg. of Parlodel with 0.l25 of Mirapex three times a day. I felt so lousy, that the fourth day I reduced my Parlodel to 2-l/2 mg for two days. I felt better after that. I am now in my second day of taking two 0.l25 mg. of Mirapex three times a day and 50/200 of Sinemet four times a day and no Parlodel. I have not felt that I need to reduce my Sinemet. Am I taking a lower dose of Sinemet than you? Or am I to look forward to some side effects this week? My problems are not dyskinsia, but rather rigidity and slowness in movement. I seemed to have improved slightly. Edie Luther
