Getting off Pramipexole:

[Clarence1936]

You advise using Gabipentin to get off Pramipexole. Ga bipentin makes me crazy . My doctor and my family warns me about Gabipetnin and what it did the last time I tried it. I would like to get off Pramipexole but Gabipentin is not the answer for me.

You might want to try pregabalin. Although they are basically the same drug as gabapentin except you don't need to divide the doses, and the side effects are basically the same, some people find that the side effects that bother them on one don't bother them on the other. Starting amount is 75 mg and after 3 weeks increase by 25 mg every couple of days until you find the dose that works for you. There is no harm in trying it as you can always stop taking it. If you still have problems, I would suggest a low dose opioid such as buprenorphine.

It did not work for me, either. Take Sue's advice, especially if you can get in with a great RLS center or doctor who can guide you.

In the meantime, I would encourage you to order some red vein kratom powder online or get it at a vape shop. It will get you through the bad nights (works within minutes) and will also greatly help you to taper down from the PRAM.
