Weight gain

[Shotz]

Pramiproxiole is causing weight gain (16 pounds in 9 months). what can I do?

I would definitely call your neurologist.

I've persisted with Pramiproxiole for 1.5 years. To this date I still don't see how it has helped me. The only thing it seemed to relieve is the twitching in my toes (apparently Basil oil also relieves it). It tended to make me quite obsessive and I wake up early and can't get back to sleep. I use this opportunity to do exercise - seems to be a good thing for people like us to be obsessed about. Might help with the weight issues. I'm planning on seeing my neurologist again shortly as Pramiproxiole simply isn't working for me.

I have the same issue. My neurologist cut the dose of mirapex (2 times a day instead of 4). I tried to skip the night dose but I would have a bad day the morning after .

I had the same problem with Pramipexol, along with attacks of daytime sleepiness. I switched to Sinemet and I’m doing much better. The weight came off and the sleepiness stopped.

I have taken it for 4 years and no weight gain. It's a great drug for tremors!
