Great to hear you're having success with reducing the pramipexole.
It can be dufficult, but it sounds.as if you're doing really well.
I am however quite surprised that you're doing so well. Amitriptyline, like most antidepressants is renowned for making RLS worse. This can take a while however.
You perhaps need to consider reducing the amitriptyline and stopping it rather than increasing it.
That's OK if you're happy with that. There are some things you might consider though.
Anything you take to help with withdrawal should only be temporary unless it's something that you are going to replace the pramipexole with.
You will probably need to replace the pramipexole with something or else your RLS will return to how it was before you started on pramipexole, or, as time has passed, even worse.
Amitrityline isn't a good replacement for pramipexole, it doesn't relieve RLS symptoms, it can make them worse.
you will also become dependent on it, then will have to withdraw from that. The higher the dose you take the more dependent you'll become.
The other aspect is, withdrawal effects should settle in two weeks or so. If that's the case and you're only using it to counteract the withdrawals then there's no need to increase the dose of amitriptyline.
Sorry I have misundestood. If you are suffering augmentation, then that in itself is a reason for stopping pramipexole so I presumed you hadn't got it.
I am am on pregablin, pramipexole & codiene, but not comming of them as working at present. Sorry don't think I can answer, but any nights without RLS is a bonus, but thought amytriptalein antaganised RLS.
