I took Permax for seven years and it worked very well until the last year. I have now been switched to Mirapex. I feel much better on Mirapex --but this is just week 8.

Over the last two years, she has tried Sinnemet, Artance, Requip, and Permax. Eeach time she goes back to the Artane and Permax combination. Very expensive drug though. She starts slowing down about 1 hour before dose time. She takes Permax at 7 A, 1 P, and 7 P.

The new neuro that rx'd it, said it will help with, getting up from a chair, and with the walking problem. I asked for mirapex, but he thinks permax will work better on the walking problems.
