I wasn't able to tolerate the Mirapex. It can make some people kinda sick to your stomach. So if you have IBS, it may be hard to tolerate. However from what my Dr says, if you can get past the first couple of weeks, you will see amazing results. He recommends taking prilosec with it at first.

Luckily there are other dopamine drugs like Requip that are less harsh. He just switched me to Requip but I can't take it yet. I was DX with a staff infection in the spine from my last surgery and they currently have me on Cipro. Of all drugs, this is the only one that can cause a reaction with Requip. So I have to wait for 45 more days until I'm done with Cipro.
