Where do you live..?? I dont know of any class actions for taking any dopamine meds here in the UK. Have you tried something different from the Sifrol. Sounds as if you need to get off it, if you have those side effects going on.

Thanks Elisse, Live Brisbane Australia.

See Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, class action pramipexole (sifrol).

Ringing Doctor & Phsychiatrist in the morning about coming off Sifrol.

I would if i were you. See what else they suggest for you for RLS, that is not a dopamine agonist. I would stay right away from those meds. Getting off the pramipexole will be hard, if you have a good doctor, they will prescribe a strong pain med to help you through the withdrawal from the dopamine. BUT, you must be careful because you could be one of those people who could get problems with the pain meds too. Good luck.
