Weaning off mirapex
According to many of you, I went off the
mirapex
too quickly. LotteM suggested I keep taking the Horizant and take a tiny dose of
mirapex
with it for 2-3 weeks. I'm okay with that since I still have some
mirapex
. I hate to do this without talking to my dr. But she is on vacation for a week.

How to handle going off mirapex
Once before many years ago I went off the
mirapex
and I had rls around the clock. It was a nightmare. I am afraid this may happen again. I don't mind going off
mirapex
if she has something else for me to take. What happens when I go off the
mirapex
completely. Dont know if I can do it.

How long off mirapex before moving on?
I'm up to one mg of
mirapex
daily after starting on one eighth mg about fifteen years ago. I told my doctor that there are better meds than
mirapex
now and just as the knowledgeable people here have said, doctors are ten years behind because he said if the
mirapex
is working, stay on it.

dopamine reuptake inhibitor
I am currently still taking
mirapex
(pramipexole) but am planning on weaning off soon from the overwhelming advice on this forum. Here is my question, pramipexole is a dopamine agonist and my doctor has prescribed wellbutrin which is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor.

For those taking methadone, do you think it affects your sleep quality?
Mirapex
nearly 2 years ago, my current meds are 0.125 mg Mirapx, 600 mg Horizant, and 10 mg methadone. Eventually I hope to taper the
Mirapex
to zero.

RLS in legs and arms
Tried
Mirapex
, Gabapentin, Pregabalin which all made me feel horrible so discontinued. Tried Acupuncture, Homeopathic, Naturopathid remedies. All seemed to work for awhile then not. Yoga helps as does walking at night when I cannot sleep because of the RLS.

Gabapentin augmentation?
I didn’t consider it may be gabapentin augmentation because I had heard it doesn’t cause augmentation like the
Mirapex
I suffered from severe augmentation. Is it possible that this is gabapentin augmentation?

Belbuca and post surgical pain.
I have taken
Mirapex
and Rotigotine with horrible augmentation symptoms upon stopping. I have also taken Gabapentin with terrible side effects. I also have tried several opioids in the past. I have taken Belbuca for the past several years.

Grateful to my Neurologist and "HealthUnlocked"!
Traveled the paths of
Mirapex
(augmented) and Ropinerole (augmented). I was recently made aware of a neurologist in my area that specialized and researched RLS. During my recent appointment, he recommended eliminating the Ropinerole and slowly adding Pregablin.

Suboxone works!
I suffered augmentation after taking 4 mg
Mirapex
daily. In September, 2023, my sleep study doctor, at The University of Michigan, prescribed Suboxone. Also known as Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2 mg/0.5 mg. It is a sublingual film that I put under my tongue. It was life changing.

Mirapex
hi! My first post… just finding out about the dangers of this drug today and I’m in a bit of shock. I was taken off the medication abruptly without warning or notice of side effects/ withdrawal. I have been in agony but thinking it was in my head. how long does one need to be on this med to have damage

First Post from New Member
Eventually settled on Carbo Dopa Liva Dopa and
mirapex
and trazadone. Found out the dangers of the CDLD just before the 5 yr mark. Stopped it and went through INSANE physical withdrawals. Progressively weaned myself off the trazadone. I don't know how.

Anyone with RLS have pain as a major symptom, especially with weather change?
I have a stash of
mirapex
and took one a few nights ago, just to prove to myself that this really is RLS and sure enough, it worked, because i have not used it in so long. Meantime, does anyone besides me find that a weather front moving in makes everything worse?

Trying to determine the right pace for tapering use of Neupro
The first attempt was
Mirapex
. SueJohnson suggested I switch to different medication, but an appointment with my neurologist here in Brasil is not so easy to get so I would like to continue to decrease my intake of Neupro until I can discuss switching meds with my neurologist.
