Mirapex dosage

Post by vinton »

Hi,

I was put on 0.125 mgs of mirapex and went to 0.25 and I sweat a lot, it depresses me.

So I know that when I take iy I feel it after 45 minutes.

Some days I can do without it so can I take it as needed?

Thanks

Do you need the .25 or can you get by with the .125? Or does that make you sweat, too?

It's hard to take as needed because it takes so long to work. But, you could, theoretically.

I was at 0.125 for 1 month and still saw some changes in my moods, sweating more and more fatigue.

Well I sat down with my pharmacist who is a friend of mine and although mirapex has it faults and was told that its only temporary so I went for it as I've been trying to get of klonopin for 6 years and I'm going ahead. Started at 2.5 mgs and now down to 0.5.

Congrats on stopping the K - for some of us it's really hard. I wish we were all like the ones who have no trouble stopping it.

You can take the Mirapex PRN - as needed - but it's hard to do. It's not as effective if you take it after the symptoms start. If you have some sign that it's going to be a rough night and you can take it before the symptoms start, it will work. Some docs do prescribe is as needed, though, so consider trying it.
