I need to wean off Mirepex because of allergic reaction (hives and itching). I need to do it slowly because just stopping it causes anxiety. Anyone have this experience and how did you do it.

My neurologist prescribed mirapex er yesterday because my medication is not lasting. I'm scared to take the medicine is anyone else use this medication and did you do OK on it. Already get swelling in my legs this can cause that and it can cause compulsive Behavior but I'm wondering has anyone had sleep attacks on it. Your input would be greatly appreciated. He's also trying to get me on rytary to give me a smoother delivery of the dopamine without so much on and off.

I have been on Mirapex for a while now and I haven't seen anything about it on this site. I'm just curious because:

"Mirapex belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine agonists. These drugs stimulate the dopamine receptors in the brain and mimic the effects of dopamine at the receptors. This helps compensate for the absence of the neurotransmitter dopamine in patients with Parkinson's disease."

My doctor wants me to stop taking them one week before my next appointment.

I recently increased my dose of mirapex ER 1.5 mg to 2.25 mg to try to get better pd symptom relief. I’m on day 9 and my fatigue seems to be getting worse especially in the afternoon. Will this get better or maybe the dose is too high for me? Also so far I’ve only noticed a little bit of improvement in my pd symptoms. What was a good dose for those of you on mirapex er? Does it eventually get better?

I take Duopa (levodopa /carbrdopa). And Requip

Hubby on Levedopa ,Azilect ,Amantadine ,Paxil and now Mirapex

RobH posted he has been using mirapex for his PD. Just wondering if anyone here is also using it and if so any thoughts ? I'm very interested because i need something that doesn't interfere with my blood sugar (Type1 me)
Thanks
