Question : I misunderstood my doctors instructions for taking the drug Mirapex. The pill bottle said take 1 tablet 3 times daily. So i did. For 4 days. Then started feeling like i was druggged out. Then found out I needed to ramp up. How long will it take for me to get this out of my system so i can start fresh and ramp up properly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

Pramipexole (Mirapex) would take 4-5 days to get eliminated from your body. After that, you can gradually up-titrate the dose of pamipexole, as advised by your doctor.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
