Worked well for first couple years with predictable severe drowsiness for 1/2 hr after 1/2 hr of dose so I had to plan activities like driving around that and caused dry mouth and insomnia; after about 2 years, insomnia got worse & had OCD/punding (couldn't stop projects like beading jewelry or putting puzzles together, etc. to sleep or eat), then had hallucinations (hearing voices) which went away as soon as I stopped Mirapex and switched to "Sinemet" & low dose Seroquel which aids sleep.
