Hi Scooter!

Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Currently, there are very few of us using Mirapex, which might make it more important for us to share our experiences.

i know I deeply appreciate you sharing both your knowledge and your experiences.

I have had a similar experience. I have become very interested in, totally fascinated by, and am quickly becoming an expert in, a topic which has never before held my interest. WoooHooo!

Seriously,I'd started ordering large amounts of these items, upto 50 transactions at a time. I have now done at least 250-300 transactions. I do, however, return 98% of the items. I have maintained interest completely; however, I have found strategies which drastically decrease actual orders.
This has only recently decreased enough so I can give my undivided attention to others, without feeling l am missing out by having temporarily diverted my attention. It's been at least 2 months.

I have also had an issue with compulsive eating for approx. 5 months.. Many report this with Seroquel. I have done so, too. I now must say I am not sure which med(s) might be causing compulsive eating. I continue to think Seroquel is the culprit, as the compulsion gets much worse after my daily dose of Seroquel. I am open to a different possibility, however.

My most recent question re: Mirapex has been: Does a compulsion caused by Mirapex also mean the person is hypomanic? This might be "splitting hairs." Yet, I have seen non-BP people develop compulsions with this med (used for RLS, for example). They are not considered "hypomanic."

My pdoc ran through the symptoms of hypomnia and I'd had one . it is the one caused by Mirapex. She had then pronounced me "hypomanic" and changed my meds. I'm not hypomanic! if anything, I am taking a dive into depression. (I have not yet not honored her desire to change my meds.)

I don't yet have the answers.

To b e continued--

Love to All
