Brief Answer:
Slow withdrawal from Mirapex is advised under supervision

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

What are you prescribed Mirapex for? Restless leg or Parkinson's? Was it immediate release or Extended release one?

Mirapex should not be stopped suddenly because of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms like sleep disturbances, BP fluctuations. If you stop slowly you should not experience any of the withdrawal symptoms. I still consider to do it under supervision of your doctor who can prescribe you alternate sleep medication if you have any withdrawal effects.

Hope this answers.
