> Maintain your dosage of Risperdal until you settle on the dosage of Mirapex that you consider optimal. The Risperdal may have left the system more sensitive to Mirapex and the nausea it causes, so keep taking the Risperdal to keep things in balance while you are titrating the Mirapex. Hopefully, the system will accomodate itself to the Mirapex and the nausea will subside. Allow the system to reach an equilibrium before doing anything with the Risperdal. If you feel great, then don't try to fix what might not be broken right away. Perhaps you can wait a month from the time you settle on your Mirapex dosage to attempt to withdraw Risperdal. Obviously, you won't know what is doing what if you change both at the same time.
