I was very sleepy!

[lilacladyuk]

when you say was sleepy,doesthat mean you are not taking it now

[Hidden]

No.

I have so much more energy that I am able to exercise and prepare better meals.

did you find your restless legs was related to food? i have restless legs most time that i try to sit down and relax which makes relaxing impossible.

When i was on Mirapexin, it made me very sleepy during the day, i was only taking two .125 tabs...i came off the Mirapexin because i couldnt take the sleepiness anymore, took it for 2 months in the hope i could get used to it but it didnt happen..

Have you tried tramadole? Its worked well for me for the past 3 years.

[Darcy]

This is a well known side effect that I'm afraid you have to put up with.

[lilacladyuk in reply to Darcy]

Maybe but how do you put up with not being able to stay awake after 8 each evening thats no life is it?

[Darcy]

I think you will find that the longer you take them, the less sleepy you will become, I can manage until 10pm now!

Seriously, just persevere with it, it does get better, honestly!
