Dear Brenda, Please let your physician know of your experiences, as she/he may want to adjust or change your medication. After being taken off Mirapex, at my request, I'm no longer experiencing what I called "sleep attacks". I'm wondering if your loss of time might not be that you have gotten in your car from shopping and fallen asleep....because with me it happened so instantly....once I fell asleep standing up...it was very troubling, and certainly could be very dangerous if you were driving. And frankly, my mind was "clearer" after stopping Mirapex. I am definitely better not taking Mirapex. Good luck Sharon Eissele
