My husband Joe is in his 6th week of taking Mirapex.  He stopped
titrating at 1.5 mg/day.  So far, he's had no side effects, and feels
that his voice is stronger and his fingers are not as rigid as they
were.  However, he still does not have an arm swing.  (He was
diagnosed 7 months ago - the only other med is 5 mg Deprenyl and many
many supplements).  What has been your arm swing experience upon
taking Mirapex?  Also, does anyone know if the different receptors
correspond to different symptoms, e.g., motor, cognitive, etc.  All
the agonists appear to stimulate Receptor 2, and in the case of
Mirapex, some stimulation to Receptor 3.  What's really happening?
