Rita, your point is well taken, and very likely Mirapex is better. But
we've seen comment by others here, who had to give up on Mirapex. It's
a reminder that individual tolerance of PD drugs is extremely variable
and "one's meat may be another's poison". So the more options kept
available, the better. Cheers,
Joe
