Hi,
Oomph! So sorry about the sleep loss! Awful, isn't it?? Have you heard about Augmentation? It is a side effect of dopamine agonists (ex. Pramipexole) meaning "a worsening of the condition". Please read up about it! I augmented on Pramipexole 2-3 years ago and it was not pretty!! Augmentation is sneaky in that it can come about even years after being on it. It took 4 years for the effect to manifest itself in my body! The prescribing doctor did not mention Augmentation as a side effect, so I learned about it the hard way (halfway through my it!). I was very scared up to that point, as I had no idea what was happening to me. If you are indeed augmentation you will need lots of support! If you need concrete advice I (as well as the others on here) can give you it, so let us know!
Stay strong and take care,
Thank you so much have been reading the article will be off to the doctors on Monday. Will let you know how I get on.
As jess says, look up augmentation as it sounds like you are experiencing it and will have to get off the prami and try something else like gabapentin, pregabalin, tramadol or oxycontin.

Thankyou
I've just been replying to Bee27 about augmenatation and advised her to look aroundfor more info mainly from you, jools and jess. You are doing a great job in replying elaborately and endleassly to questions and cries for help. I have mainly been reading, and that already felt as huge support and help.
THANK YOU SO MUCH on behalf of everyone and myself. Keep up the good work!
Adding to that:
Wish we would could have marked, kind of "prime", posts a bit like blogs, on issues like augmenation.
I know the forum shows more options when you read on a pc, but I mainly use my phone and the app
Awwww, thanks so much, LotteM! I just want to help, and the fact that I almost took my own life just drove that deeper. We can't let this thing beat us!!
