Tramadol was the only thing that helped me when getting off the dopamine agonists (mirapex, requip, nupro). 50 mg twice a day.

Hi able, sounds like your having a rough time with all the surgeries.If it is augmentation you will find your rls symptoms start earlier in the day than before treatment , that symptoms may spread to other parts of your body usually arms and your meds dont work aswell at night.Does this sound like the problem you are having with mirapex? There has been a recent post about surgery worsening restless legs that may be helpful
