I started like everybody elas at 1 .125 three times per day. It was not too many days that I was up to 1.5 mg per day. I take 1/2 of a 1.5mg pill at 6:00 am and 1/2 at 2:00pm. At that dosage with a 25/100 Carbidopa/Levodopa every 2-1/2 hours. I don't have any "OFFs" during the day. prior to the Mirapex I was taking 25/100s at 2 hours and I would have one or two significant "OFFs" per day. So the Mirapex seems to be just what I needed. Dr. Gancher said to stay at that dosage if its working for me. And it sems to be working for me Yours and His David L. Moreland [log in to unmask]
