Thanks for your answer. I was weaned off Mirepex and the results were not pretty. I was anxious and depressed. I went back on Mirepex in order to get my life back. If I have to be addicted to something, creativity and arts and crafts wouldn't be a bad thing. But you are right, the agonists are horrible drugs and I hate having PD but it's the hand I was dealt. Just trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

I began writing poetry and getting my first Bolok of poems ready for publication. I started it as therapy as I was loosing my words and train of thought, so I used poetry to put words together and rhyme them. I never thought about the creativity thing tho.

yes, Dopamine agonists, those satanic drugs, cause immense feelings of creativity,,,especially with words,,,its hard to see how its related, but trust me it is...

my advice> tell your doc to wean you off it asap,especially if you are engaging in addictions .

Definitely, but possibly because I have now retired and have more time.

since having Parkinson's I have had a creative surge that I never thought I would ever have. I love to make flower arrangements, mosaics, dressmaking, and my garden is not just a garden, it is a collection of bits and pieces that I have gathered along my journey through my life and my arts and crafts that I do. and before Parkinson's I never had any interest
