Brief Answer: Discuss with neurologist to change therapy... Detailed Answer: Hi, Please bare in mind that every drug has its side effects. If the drug is giving more side effects than the desired benefits, it is advised to change therapy. So, if Mirapex is making you very nauseous and this has been gone for few days (and there is no other illness), I suggest to consult the neurologist in order to change therapy and choose the one with less side effects. I hope this helps! Feel free to ask other questions! Dr.Albana

Brief Answer: It will take few days to weeks... Detailed Answer: Hi, If nausea is caused by Mirapex, within a couple of days after stopping it, you will see improvement. It will take up to few weeks for the drug to get out of your system. Once again, I repeat, you should consult neurologist to take it less and less until stopping definitely. Take care! Dr.Albana

Brief Answer: Normal for RLS... Detailed Answer: Hi, If you are taking Mirapex for Restless leg syndrome (RLS), then, it is normal to feel electrical jolts throughout your body. That's why you have been prescribed to take Miralax. I'd suggest to get further evaluated by your neurologist to rule out neuropathy. Let me know if you have further queries! Dr.Albana
