I have just started .25mg of this for restless legs and it does seem to help but I feel weak the next day. Is this normal when you start? I take 5 doses of 25/125 c/l. I have weak spells about 9am and sometimes take 2 tablets for that dose. Thank you for reading this. Any suggestions would be great.

I've just started Pramipexol (Sifrol)for Akasthisia and RLS.

I found being weak and tired to be side effects of medication and lasted for about two weeks.

The only remaining side effect is Anxiety and it's horrible. I'm preserving a little longer.
