F humid and grey *********************************************************** Hi friends, AT the suggestion of Camilla FLintermann, I am writing you to tell you of my frustrating experience with Mirapex. The side-effects, in me, seem to be uncontrollable. I wonder if I better give up on the 0.125 mg strength (the smallest dose). I can't even take one whole pill safely. UNCONTROLLABLE SIDE-EFFECTS: -Lowering of blood pressure from 120/80 to only 80/50 )when standing up from a seated position, causing extreme dizziness and drowsiness -loss of mental focus -dyskinesia if my Sinemet CR or Sinemet combines with it too hard. -severe constipation for 6 days -lowered sexual interest AT NIGHT, it does seem to help prevent end-of dose muscle cramping if I take a pill at bedtime. But in the daytime, I can only take .0625 mg (half of a .125 mg pill) at a time,not enough to really help reduce my Sinemet intake.
