Mirapex ER 0.75mg Tablets: My Experience and Questions on Side Effects

I've been on Mirapex ER for a while now, and while it's helped with my symptoms, I've had some pretty vivid dreams too. They can be quite unsettling, but my doctor assured me it's a common side effect. Do you plan to stay on these meds?

I've heard Mirapex ER can be a bit rough on people. Did you get the extended release? I've had good luck with that. No hallucinations, no muscle stiffness, no uncontrollable gambling. I've had flu like symptoms, but the doctor told me that would pass. I was tired for a few weeks, but that passed too.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's not fun! Just be careful and keep your doctor in the loop. The sleepiness can be bad but the hallucinations are worse. Make sure to take it at night otherwise you'll be falling asleep at work or worse you could fall asleep at the wheel.

What do the docs say? They should have given you a rundown of what to expect. Have you tried any other medications? There are a lot out there and each one has their own side effects. I know first hand!

I know it can take a bit of time to find the right medication and dose for Parkinson's. It can feel overwhelming at first, but keep communicating with your doctor. I was on Mirapex, but it gave me an uncontrollable urge to gamble. I had to switch meds. keep talking to your doctor.

I switched to Mirapex ER after having trouble with another Parkinson's medication. The hallucinations were rough at first, and then they went away. Now I just have some sleepiness and dry mouth. It's worth it to me because it's helped with my movement. Hang in there!

I've never heard of Mirapex ER before and I wish that you would have written a detailed post about what you are experiencing. I've been on Pramipexole since I was diagnosed and I've had no issues. You might want to switch to the Pramipexole.

Hearing about hallucinations is scary. You know that you need to go to the doctor right away if you get the allergic reaction symptoms, right? I was on Mirapex and got a fever, confusion, and muscle stiffness. I went to the hospital in a panic, but I was fine. They told me I had to stop taking the medication. You don't want to do that.

The hallucinations are so bad. I couldn't take my meds during the day because that was when they happened. I wish that I knew this before starting my meds. I started getting them in the night. I would fall asleep, wake up from a nap, and start to hallucinate.
