i started .25 mg mirapex for plmd. That amount seems to have stopped the nighttime jerkiness, but i still wake up frequently.

I have trouble getting back to sleep. Do any of you take something else to sleep? The doc said i could increase the mirapex to .5, but i am afraid it will make me less sleepy.

Mirapex works well for my restless legs but causes insomnia for most people after a few hours so my doctor prescribed Zopicione (3.75 mg) to help me sleep.

Yes I have same problem. Am taking x2 but consultant said I can take one more, but prefer not to...the zoplicone only worked once to sleep , and I now have a low dose of oxycodone which, although it stops hip pain etc it does not make me sleep.I suspect the oxycodone will be increased so we shall see....is anyone else taking it?

Mirapexin works for me and lets me sleep through the night. OK so I get up to go to the loo sometimes.but I usually get back to sleep unless I'm worrying about something. Maybe your body has got used to waking up and you need to break that habitat?
