Mirapex-Tired during the day
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:43 pm
I would like some feedback on anyone taking Mirapex.
My current dosage is (5) 0.125 -Mirapex
(1) 300mg.-Neurontin
I take them 2 hours before bedtime.
When I first started with the Mirapex, my dosage was 3 per day. I do sleep every night app. 7-9 hours. However, during the day my facial muscles feel like I could fall asleep. Its not so much that I am tired, but I cannot sit in a chair without feeling the need to close my eyes. He tried to switch me to Requip, but sorry to say that it did nothing at all for my legs!
Last month my doctor put me on Chromagen (iron supplement). The last two evenings I tried to cut back on mirapex and only took 4 pills, and my legs did well. I could hardly believe it. I've had numerous sleep studies done, including overnight and the next day and the doctor did rule out narcolepsy for me.
Does anyone experience the same feelings while taking Mirapex.
