Hi

My PDoc is getting ready to start me on pramipexole (Mirapex). Anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks!

welcome back workhorse.

Why is the Mirapex being prescribed? Restless legs? Or an off-label reason? it looks like from a fast search it is typically for Parkinson's or restless legs.

I haven't used it so that's all the information I have I'm afraid. Hopefully someone else knows more.

My PDoc wants to use it off label for the bipolar. I have not been doing real well and have pretty much run through other options.

Thanks
