I don't know what a 'mushy' brain feels like, looks like or acts like so I can't respond to that. But I do have the drowsy problems and it seems to be worse since I started on Mirapex about 1 1/2 years ago. for that reason I only drive short distances. I think I saw somewhere the driving while taking Rx meds that cause drowsiness is considered DUI (driving under the influence ) in the state of California. Please be careful.
