[Modaly]

Hi I'm just new to this page my gp put me onto it right now I want to chop my frigging legs off right now I've been up from about 05.00 I take pramipexole it does work but wears off I have suffered rls from late teens and it's just got worse and worse

If things are getting worse and worse and you are increasing your Prami then it could be augmentation you are experiencing and you may need to change your medication.

What exactly are you taking, have you tried any other drugs, could you be taking drugs that are making things worse like antihistamines.

Maybe if you tell us what you are taking we can advise. There is lots of great info here, don't forget to use the search bar at the top right of the page.

Yes, as Raffs says, we might be able to help with a few more details. what is the dose you are on? That is the most important thing to know when dealing with that class of meds.

I have sent a list of things to do that might be helpful by private message.

Hello there Modaly,

I believe that Pramipexole is the same as Sifrol, (the name it is marketed under in Australia). I also take this drug, (and until recently, that is), I have had a success rate of 100%. And I can hereby honestly and categorically say, without any exaggeration whatsoever), this drug has definitely saved my life.

Unfortunately, it would appear that I am slowly but surely heading towards dreaded augmentation.

I think you are on the max dose of Prami so it appears that augmentation is your problem. Here's a thread with loads of good info on it:
