To make a long story short, a friend went through augmentation on
dopamine
agonists, tapered off and Gabapentin was prescribed 600mg at 4 hrs and 2 hours before bedtime (total dose 1200mg). Additionally, hydrocodone was prescribed to relieve severe RLS and PLMD.

Somebody asked why I take Berberine. I figured it something good to share.

Pramipexole withdrawals (Dopamine Agonist Withdrawal)
My dr was using Pram off label for depression hoping it would increase
dopamine
and help things out. No such luck. Now I am so messed up trying to get off it. Anyone have horrible mental issues while tapering?

Dr Berkowski Article on Dopamine Agonists Oct '23.
https://www.calameo.com/sleeplabmagazine/books/006372046fb2b80cd3776 Dr Berkowski is one of the top US experts on RLS and he firmly believes
dopamine
agonists cause permanent damage to
dopamine
receptors. This means pregabalin and gabapentin often don't work for us, nor do iron infusions.

PLMD medication
I have since been back to the doctor and raised my concerns about
Dopamine
antagonists & asked to be prescribed Gabapentin. The doctor seemed willing to prescribe it but wanted to check with Neurology first, which is fair enough.

Restless Arm Syndrome unresponsive to DA used as diagnostic tool
An interesting article about diagnosis of Restless Arm Syndrome, where the patient did NOT respond to
dopamine
agonist treatment used as a diagnostic tool. The patient did respond fully to gabapentinoids. I must remember this when responding to those who are struggling to get a diagnosis.

I'm RLS free now and want to share how
An elevated level of
dopamine
caused indigestion in my guts. After some time it became obvious. Now I'm more or less RLS free, since it was mild anyways to begin with. Magnesium + B6 help.

I don’t know if I want to get better
Nothing healthy brings me
dopamine
. I love my family, but they don’t make me happy. I don’t want to pick my daughter up from school because I’m unhappy and it makes her unhappy and it’s all my fault because I’m not fixing it.

The Stimulation-Happiness Link: Your Experiences?
Probably because I'm unstimulated, and all these activities don't wake me up; I need something stronger, I need
dopamine
(or another brain chemical, don't know). So I end up with a wonderful thing, but without
dopamine
. I have a big difficulty with trips.

medication rotation
After a year of Bup only, after the
dopamine
receptors have “reset” he prefers alternating one day of Bup with one day of .125 mg of Prami!? He uses this protocol extensively in his practice without augmentation from the Prami at the low dose.

Trazodone
Had every
dopamine
drug for many years and now completely free of them for at least 6 months . My question is although Trazodone is deemed not to affect RL I have unfortunately found that in my case they have made my symptoms worse? I have the restlessness in my arms too .

Buprenorphine
I live in Gloucestershire and have suffered with chronic rls for over 30 yrs
Dopamine
Agonists worked quite well until I hit augmentation last year. Getting off them was hell and was often suicidal . This forum saved my life.

Parkinsons caused by sugar?
High link to diabetes, causes high inflammation in both brain & gut, sugar effects
dopamine
levels which are misbalanced, my personal bad experience following ice cream/fried food/milk/ bread/cereal, the lixeisenatide drug working, the improvement with diet/exercise/ meditation,, the surprising rise

L tyrosine
Since I know I'm chronically low in
dopamine
and that L tyrosine benefits me in other ways, I decided to try trickle dosing. I got some L Tyrosine powder from Bulk Supplements.

6 month update off of Pramaprexole!!!
Maybe my
dopamine
receptors are healed now, but 100 is perfect! I hope this helps anyone in the weaning off phase. Life will be better if you take the leap! It is work, but when you have severe RLS, this is necessary!

For those considering methadone
After trying many other drugs, and after augmentation and withdrawal from
dopamine
agonists, I started mid Feb on 2.5 mg methadone and have titrated slowly over 4 months to allow my body to get used to it, to 10 mg.

Very interesting video on controversial issues regarding managing Parkinson’s at different stages (from 2 guys that seem smart).
; (2) Should elderly patients be put on
dopamine
agonists?; (3) How strong is the evidence for efficacy of supplements for PD?; (4) Are natural sources of levodopa better than synthetic levodopa pills?; (5) Can cannabis help PD symptoms and is it safe for PD?
