Brief Answer:
Dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

If a dopamine agonist drug, including Mirapex, is stopped suddenly, symptoms of the dopamine agonist withdrawal could happen.

These symptoms include depression, agitation, irritability,fatigue, lack of sleep, anxiety.

Those symptoms could last for long time, so it is better to taper Miraplex instead of going cold turkey.

Talk with your treating Doctor about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can help you further.

Greetings.
