Debbie - you might have something there. I have been on mirapex for two years. and I can't get the words out (I tend to studder trying). Some days I am so tired that I fall asleep while reading. I need just five minutes of sleep. I am waiting for the newesst pill, already approved in Canada. I believe. I also seem to have more aches and pains. I am also planning to speak to my dr. when he returns from his much needed vacation. Edie
