Ervin and others-- you will find MANY messages in the archives, which are
in the process of being made available again now. Give it a try--

The reason I suggest this is that there are such differences in the way
folks respond to Mirapex (or any drug) that a few responses may not be
helpful. In Peter's case, it caused a terrible paranoid reaction and
hallucinations-probably because his Sinemet was not reduced. But others
swear BY it, not AT it! In any case, if you try it, do go slowly and
monitor reactions carefully, as with any new med. Good luck!
