Nope.
yes.
Side effects can develop at any time with any drug, which of course could happen with pramipexole as well. The most common side effects of Mirapex are: low blood pressure, involuntary movements, nausea, headaches, insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness and abnormal dreams. You would not want to abruptly discontinue pramipexole without consulting your physician.
Pramipexole is a prescription medication which is used to treat the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. It is also known as Mirapex, Mirapexin, and Sifrol, and also used in the treatment of Restless Leg Syndrome and cluster headaches.
Yes there is. It is sold under the name Pramipexole.
No, pramipexole is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). It is a dopamine agonist primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. MAOIs, on the other hand, work by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Yes they can take together
Taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and pramipexole together may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before combining these medications, as individual health conditions and other medications can also influence safety. Always follow your doctor's recommendations for medication use.
Some of the more common side effects of pramipexole (Mirapexin) include:Changes in appetite and weightDizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)DrowsinessHallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there)NauseaInsomniaTwitching, twisting, or other unusual body movementsUnusual tiredness or weaknessSeveral unusual adverse effects of pramipexole (and related D3-preferring dopamine agonist medications such as ropinirole) may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating,even in patients without any prior history of these behaviours. Other compulsive behaviors, such as excessive shopping and even cross-dressing, have been reported. These side effects are thought to be linked to the D3 activity of pramipexole, as D3 receptors are heavily expressed in brain regions involved in mood, behavior, and reward.

At this time, no generic Mirapex (pramipexole) products are available in the United States. The first patent for the medication is set to expire in March 2011. However, Barr Pharmaceuticals has challenged the Mirapex patents in court, and due to the results of the settlement, Barr will be able to market a generic version no later than January 2010.
