Reviews for Pramipexole to treat Parkinson's Disease

Review by PDMom: User Rating:  
   
8.0

Mirapex (pramipexole): I was started on Mirapex for Parkinson's Disease. I have horrible pain, stiffness, tremors, headaches, dizziness and the list goes on. I had been confined to bed for nearly a year due to my complications. The very day I began taking the Mirapex we began to see improvement. As my dosage was increased I continued to show more and more improvement. Mirapex is giving me my life back...slowly but surely! The only complications I have are when my dosage is increased. I have slight nausea and tiredness but other than that I have had no other side effects.

Mirapex (pramipexole): I was unable to walk, dress myself, cook, write, or barely function. My family doctor was treating me for mini-strokes but finally agreed I should see a neurologist. He started me on Mirapex that day as he could tell that I had Parkinson's by my appearance and actions. I have been on 1.5 mg 3 times a day for a year and am back to living again. I dread to think of where I would be without Mirapex. I don't have any side effects.

pramipexole: I've recently titrated up to full dose and am a bit disappointed as I've had no effects at all - no side effects fortunately, but no improvement either. I wonder if I need to give it longer.
