Having been told at reception you can have a test without seeing the doctor , went for test to be told you must see the doctor first ,so waiting on doctor phone call ,receptionists are not qualified to give medical advice ,but they are a barrier you have to go through to see a doctor, when you get blood tests done they just say its fine you are not told the levels unless you ask for them ,at weekend going to cut out the 180mg pramipexole and see what happens ,.

That's a rather high level of Pramipexol. 🥴

Whatever the dose, take it very slowly and by smallest possible rate. It is possible to cut the tablets. Use a very sharp knife or pill cutter.

I'd definitely ask to see the results. If you have the NHS app and your GP Surgery is organised you can see them on your health record but they do disappear after a few months so I take a copy with the date so I can tell if anything has changed.

Not what you're looking for?
