John,

I ramped up on Mirapex very quickly so I noticed a difference in about 10 days. All of the literature says to titrate slowly due to the naseau problem that a lot of people see. I went to 3 mg/day (3 doses of 1) in a couple of days. It is reccomendedto start with .75 mg/day and slowly move up. Right now I take 2 mg when I get up and then 1 mg mid morning and another mid afternoon. The original studies of Mirapex as an AD showed that 5 mg/day showed a greater AD effect than lower doses. The only problem was that many of the study patients quit because of side effects.

I'm fairly med resistant so I rarely see a lot of the side effects that force others to quit on a good med.

Hope this helps,

Chris
