What medication exactly?
Restless1967 in reply to
Requip and Pramipraxol
in reply to Restless1967
Both Requip and Pramipexole are dopamine agonist and the withdrawal symptoms of them can be quite severe.
What does were you taking and how fast did you reduce and stop them?
Also what problems are you actually having?
Part of withdrawal symptoms might be excessive stretching ( trying to escape the anxiety and general distraction)
I imagine that this might result in stiffness and soreness. ??
Rather than the muscular problems occurring on withdrawing the meds, I'd guess that the problems were there previously, but that the meds were hiding them. This is typical in that many medications deal with symptoms, rather than causes.
Not what you're looking for?
