Stable on 2mg Neupro

Now on 2 mg Neupro (3 mg caused burns and blisters). And 0.125 pramipexole. This seems to be working at the time and taking Gabapentin 1800 mg will change to lyrica next week or 2. The plan was to discontinue Neupro but no problems now!

And later I needed getting off that low of a dose of pramipexole would be difficult?

Thanks, it’s hard to know what to do

With my hindsight, it's not hard to know what to do, it's just hard to do it.

I find to drink half a glass of Tonic Water helps me because it contains Quinine, plus my 2x Pramipexole @ 350 micro gram each. I do not twitch at night now whilst in bed. Give that a try, plus to anybody who reads this.

I’ve never had tonic water Popank. Apart from in a gin and tonic I guess if that’s the same thing.

Does drinking tonic water help? It’s 9 in the morning but I could do with a g and t!

Since joining this site I’ve started eating 2 bananas every day and I always take my iron pills every other day with a glass of fresh orange.

I’d love an excuse fo drink gin though!!!
