Q: Can a person with heart disease take Mirapex?
If a heart patient has restless leg syndrome, can he take Mirapex ?

A: Ask a doctor or pharmacist…

Q: Looking to buy cheap Mirapex online without prescription. Generic brand is fine?
I’m looking to find cheap Mirapex (generic version pramipexole) online without prescription. I have found some sites that sell it all with different prices however does anyone know any places that sell it really cheap?

A: Really the cheapest prices on drugs are in Mexico. However you should keep in mind that drugs not manufactured within the US are not regulated by the FDA and therefore these manufacturing facilities are not held to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) and cGLP (current Good Laboratory Practices), which means that they may not be getting good quality raw materials to make the drug, they may not be checking for quality control, etc. I can tell you personally after seeing some manufacturing facilities for drugs in other countries first hand, that I would never take one of the medications produced there, I would not even give it to an enemy! I have seen where the raw materials are contaminated with heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, ect.

Basically just be aware of the above. If anywhere, I would go with Canada, just because they do have an organization similar to our FDA which is known as Health Canada. Although Mexico or places in South America will be cheaper than Canada, you will still get the drugs cheaper and can at least feel confident that they have been produced in reputable and regulated facilities in Canada.

Q: How long does it take for Mirapex to get into your system?
I just got put on Mirapex for Restless Legs Syndrome…does anyone know how long it takes for it to be effective? It seems to be helping…but it has only been one night. Im not sure if that is just by chance or not. Any ideas? Thanks, Heather

A: Medications such as this should take one-two weeks before you notice any significant improvement. It also depends on the severity of your symptoms. RLS ( Restless Leg Syndrome) is a relatively new disorder. If your symptoms persist or worsen, call your Doc that prescibed the medicine.I hope this helps and Good Luck. P.S. did you receive an information sheet from the pharmacy where you had the prescription filled??

Q: what medications other than mirapex and sinamet are used for parkinsons?
One the WalMart $4 medication list there were 2 Neurological medications. I do not know what they were and want to know if they are medication for PD. Mirapex and Sinamet are our of my price range as I have no insureance

A: Mirapex (pramipexole) and Sinamet (carbidopa/levodopa) would be pretty expensive because they are brand name drugs. You can surely see how a wal-mart brand of aspirin would cost less than Tylenol (T.M.).

You should be happy though. I doubt you really want to know the classes of drugs used (i know 3), butI checked out the Wal Mart $4 club that you spoke of and saw both Trihexyphenidyl and Benztropine there. Trihexyphenidyl is commonly used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s though, of course, you know there is no cure. Benztropine may be used in the early stage of the disease.

Both of these are prescription drugs; consult with your doctor and he will know which he considers right for you. Wal-Mart will supply you with drugs just as good as Mirapex without draining your pocket dry.

Q: Anyone know what kinds of side effects there are with Mirapex and alcohol with heavy usage of marijuana?
By the way, it is not me who is taking this combination of things…I am asking so I can help a good friend who is engaging in this kind of activity.

A: I don’t know…and I don’t care to find out. I can tell you this…you are playing with fire and your life. Mirapex (or any medication) should NEVER be used in combination with alcohol or drugs…never ever ever.

If you are using alcohol or drugs, DO NOT take the Mirapex.

Yes, Mirapex is effective…I use it myself, having suffered from RLS for many years. It works…but I do not drink or use drugs at all…EVER.

If you keep us using, you might me or someone like me breaking down your front door and rushing in to save your life (assuming that you could be saved).

EMT

If this isn’t about you, then I apologize…but for whoever is it about…they are really taking a chance.

Q: I use mirapex for my RLS my insurance won’t pay how can I get my perscrition for a lower price?
I’m 55 years old and need this to sleep at night thier is no generic and no other medication works for me. Any ideas?

Q: My doctor prescribed me Mirapex for Restless Leg Syndrome – is this safe to take with my Ambien?
I’ve really never liked taking medicines like this, but sometimes you get to the point where you breakdown and ask for help from your doctor. I’m a little worried about taking the two together, despite my doctor saying it was fine as long as it’s taken responsibly.

Could you give me your experiences?

A: If you dont believe your doctor Why ask on YA

Q: I have RLS and I am on Mirapex and Magnisum and zinc any other ways to help naturaly?
I have tried the bar of soap and exercise(which seems to make it worse) and warm baths, massage, and lavender/oil based lotion(calming).

A: It sounds like you’re using the main things that would help Restless Legs, so if those aren’t working, you may need to consult with a specialist. The only other thing I’ve ever heard of was a Homeopathic formula or two that were specifically for Restless Legs (I think they both had that in the name)… you should be able to find something like that in your local health food store. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Q: Is there a lawsuit for people who have Parkinsons and is on Mirapex and also has a gambling addiction?

A: Who would you sue? Your Parkinsons’ doctor, your mirapex doctor, the casino or all of the above?

To answer the question, no.

Most “sober” addicts I’ve known say that the first step to recovery is accepting responsibility for your actions.

Q: What are dosage levels for Mirapex? Is it dangerous to take a higher dosage for RLS?

A: For RLS, dosage runs from o,125mg to 0.5mg.

Higher doses of any medicine increases the risks of side effects.

Q: I take 60mg of Cymbalta for fibromaylgia & Mirapex for RLS pain. Can I also take Sam-e?
I Have fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome. Can’t find anything that helps for the pain. I take Cymbalta and Mirapex. Can I safely try Sam-e for pain?

A: From what I have been told-it is NOT recommended to take SAMe with medications in the SSRI, SNRI classes

Q: i am now taking 2mg mirapex daily if i double dose would i be able to dance?
be able to dance at my anniversary party?

A: u should never take more than ordered
ask your doctor or drug store

My dentist thinks it is because it makes your mouth so dry. That is the only change I have made was taking the Mirapex.

A: Yes, dry mouth or “Xerostomia” is a very common cause for cavities :

Q: Anyone with experience with the drug Mirapex?
I’m just starting (titrate to 200mg), and it seems like the side effects listed by the manufacturer could be different for different people. So far I’ve been a little sleepy. Any thoughts or advice from your experience?

A: I haven’t any experience with it, but I’ve found a link that you may find interesting. It’s user comments and ratings on Mirapex. : )

Q: Can anyone help find a lawyer to deal with requip case parallel to mirapex and permax?
Parkinsons drug inducing catastrophic compulsions that ruin marriages and peoples lives.

A: I don’t know what area you live in, but, type in Martindale Hubble in a search engine and you will find a site that will allow you to find lawyers and law firms by location, firm size, particular practice and so forth. Good luck. Make sure they don’t ask for any money up front. Their fee should be based on whether you win anything or not and no more than a 1/3.
