After a year long break from 10 years on .25mg pramipexole (stopped because of augmentation), I started taking .25mg pramipexole again to help me get through until an upcoming appointment with a neurologist. I was on .25mg pramipexole for a total of 17 days. After my appointment I reduced the pramipexole to .125mg for 5 days while starting on 75mg of Lyrica, then stopped the pramipexole completely. My RLS was under control for this period.
After 5 days of 75mg of Lyrica, I increased it to 150mg which I have been taking for the past 4 days.
Since stopping the pramipexole completely (and continuing the 150mg of Lyrica), my RLS is back with a vengeance. Do you think this is pramipexole withdrawal after such a short, low dose period, or that the Lyrica is not (yet?) helping with my RLS? I don't want to keep increasing the Lyrica dose if I'm actually having pramipexole withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks
