Hi. Do you know an attorney willing to take a Mirapex case? I began taking m. 2 1/2 years ago and have gained 75 pounds due to compulsive eating (mostly at night), went through 2 years of a shopping addiction and when I stopped shopping went right for the casino (somewhere I never would even think of going) I tried to commit suicide, which was an extremely compulsive action if you were to hear the story. My story is huge, but attorneys claiming they are representing victims of Mirapex are turning down my case. I have provable information, and like I said, a huge story. I'd like to know who may be interested or why I am being turned down by these big attorneys. Thank you.

I took Mirapex for a year. I took it off and on. Then the last three months I took 1 mg everyday.
I started spending money. I was already on thin ice because I had helped my son buy a house then he left it for me with the payments and to sell. I knew it. Yet I kept spemding money with no regard.
The last 3 months I spent $4000 on E-bay. I have all of my credit cards max plus a few loans. My IRA that I saved for so many years is gone.
Without figuring details, I would estimate I lost at least $20,000. Lawyers are not interested. One told me that there would have to be a couple of zeros added to what I lost for a lawyer to be interested. He told me when one files with a claim suit ,a person doesn't get every much of their lost money back. There are too many people one has to share it with. The lawyer fee off the top is taken, then one splits the rest of the money with the other claimees.
Anyone have any suggestions? do you know of a claim suit being formed? Some is better than nothing.

In January of 2000, I started to show tremors in both legs and left hand and rigidity in my
muscles and I had a hard time walking and standing for a long period of time. Being concerned about my condition, I went to Kaiser in Fontana, California, were I was seen by a Dr. David Rice a Neurologist. It was at this point that I was prescribed Mirapex to treat my symptoms.
In November of 2007, due to all of the pathological gambling, betrayal, lying, stealing and destruction to myself, my family, my wife and children and basically to everyone that I have ever known, I tried to take my own life (5150). The ultimate sin. I tried to stop all of this pain and agony to myself and my loved ones, I tried to take own life by overdose. I never thought for a minute that I could be in such a dark place like this that I would try to end my life. Some how before I had passed out, I had dialed 911 and asked for help and was taken to Redlands Community Hospital and put under a suicide watch and spent the next seven days trying to get back to reality and in the right frame of mind to function in my life once more.
Before all of this I was a very strong willed person, loving life at its fullest and very functional in life and financially stable.
In December of 2007 I went to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting and explained my situation, that I was compulsively gambling out of control for years and also talked about my condition with Parkinson’s Disease. After I was done talking, a member at the meeting that had been going to these meetings for several years mentioned that there was a another gentleman that was at a meeting a couple of years ago that also had Parkinson’s Disease and found out that the medication that he was on at the time caused him to compulsively gamble. It was from this point till now that I have been doing research on the side effects of Mirapex.
In February of 2008, I was still having problems with coping with all of this tragedy and turmoil that I finally broke down and suffered a nervous breakdown and was admitted into Loma Linda Behavior Medical Center for ten days. During this time, I was evaluated and put on medication that would help me cope with life. I knew that at this point I had given up and put my life in God’s hands, I had no were else to turn. It like I was in hell
The preliminary diagnosis was PD and was confirmed February 2008 with a live Dopa PET scan at UCLA. Dr. David Rice started to treat my symptoms with Mirapex. As time went on I suffered from numerous side effects caused from this medication like falling asleep while driving, loss of memory, shortness of breath, compulsive over eating, weight gain, 145lbs., insomnia, pathological gambling, swelling in my legs and feet, self-destruction, depression, anxiety, family, my career and etc
I want the manufacturer of this medication to be aware of the dangerous and life altering effects this medication has on myself and others before and after me who are suffering from the same or different negative and life altering effects. .
I have spent the past several years in a living nightmare. I had lost control of my life, my career and my marriage. I had destroyed everything that I had worked so hard to accomplish in my life.
My hope is that I can find an attorney who can help me.
Thank you.
