Hi
Please read the thread below, hopefully you'll find it useful.

I've been taking Pramipexole (Mirapex) in the UK for 3 months now. My Pdoc is very open minded as far as experimenting with off label medication goes, as he sees I do my research well.
My bother is also taking a DA Agonist, Ropinerole, as an add on med. He's only been on it two weeks now, but seems to be responding fairly well.
Hope this helps.
Gary
P.S. The slow titration of Pramipexole (as far as I know) is not due to the nausea, but from the risk of psychosis... My doctor has known of Parkinsons patients who have become delusional, so take your time - don't let that put you off though, Mirapex has helped me significantly, so much so that I'm now back at work.
