I'm just seeing this now - what sleep issues were you having? Did coming off of Mirapex work? How are you feeling? Hope you're doing okay!

Mirapex has always worked for me. I take it 3 times a day because I get this tingling and restless feeling in my legs. Like I said different things/medications depends on the individual. Parkinsons affects everyone differently.

Hope you guys find something that works for you.

Best wishes.

Hugs,

Kathleen

Mirapex three times a day works well for me too...and no impulsive actions...I was an internet addict before I ever started taking it Smile
