I started Mirapex at .125 dosage to help with Fibromyalgia pain. The protocol for this was to increase to 3.0. At .75 to 1.0 I began to gamble quite frequently. At 1.50 I couldn't sleep for more than 5 hours a day and became unnaturally hyper. At 1.75, the sleep amount went to only 3 hours and I became delusional with obsessive/compulsive tendencies. If not for my family, I wouldn't have even realized anything was wrong because the dosage increase was so gradual. I am normally a very sensible, stable person and this drug made me into a person that no one knew in my family. Be very careful with this drug. And, do your research on any drug before taking it. I certainly will in the future.
