Maxime-
The "nasty" side effects were: EXTREME drowsiness and fatigue after each dose that lasted about 3 hours and then when that wore off I felt REALLY good. BUT then it was time for another dose. People may want to cut down how many times they tell you to take it. The WORST side effect is the "sleep attacks". I never got one, but was only on it about 2 weeks. This is what prompted me to stop taking it. I was always freaking out that I would just suddenly fall asleep without any warning. The more I researched the drug, the more I found out it just wasn't worth it. Although Mirapex causes drowsiness and fatigue, it also causes insomnia. AGHHHHHHHH!
I am not trying to detour you from taking it...but simply that there are some things you have to consider. It could be a miracle drug for someone needs some happiness (me) but they must have a designated driver.
