i started .25 mg mirapex for plmd. That amount seems to have stopped the nighttime jerkiness, but i still wake up frequently.
I have trouble getting back to sleep. Do any of you take something else to sleep? The doc said i could increase the mirapex to .5, but i am afraid it will make me less sleepy.

Coincidence or not....?
Just wanted to write really quick that I have been OFF of Mirapex (and all other RLS meds) for the last 2 months and my symptoms have GREATLY improved. I have been sleeping well (and falling asleep with ease) and have only had 2 or 3 mild instances of my RLS. The only other changes I have made are deleting

I have PLMD and my doc prescribed .25 mirapex. I have read that a side effect id falling asleep suddenly during the day.
My understanding is this happens during activities of daily living. Does this happen to many patients?

Medication Review
I f you, like me, have several Doctors who help you monitor and treat your health issues then you must must make a habit of up-dating, reviewing and questioning your medications on a regular basis. I have found that almost every time I see my Doctor, weather it be my Family Doctor or one of my many specialist

I'm seeing my neuro in March and am thinking of talking with him about stopping Mirapex. I only take .25 3X day along with Stalivo.
I am not sure the Mirapex is helping and I think it is causing dry mouth and problems sleeping. Has anyone stopped taking it and were there withdrawal problems? Has anyone replaced it with something more tolerable?

Does anybody get the RLS symptoms all over you body and not just in the legs or sometimes not in the legs at all but everywhere else instead
I have been Restless Legs Syndrome for a long time. I have been controlling it with Pramipexole or Mirapex .25 for many years. About a year and a half ago I took a pretty nasty fall and tore my meniscus in 2 places. One min. I was walking, the next I landed square on both knees on the concrete. I was

Can I take more Mirapex? I have been on the same dose for about 3 years.
I have really been suffering with severe RLS. I really need some sleep. I have taken 1 mg of Mirapex and 100 mg of Tramadol tonight and I am absolutely getting no relief. I am having RLS almost 24 hours a day now. I can hardly get this typed because my whole body is soooo stressed and I cannot be still

MIRAPEX
After trying most of the meds out there I am still on Mirapex with its horrible side effects. over the years I gained 20 lbs and now I find that it's coming on faster e.g. approx. 5 lbs in the past 7 months. At this rate I will become obese in no time at all - I've always watched very carefully what

Follow Up - Response from California
The most common side effect is constipation (which can be easily treated with
MiraLax
). Tolerance/dependence (“addiction”) should not occur if dosed correctly (and if patients with a previous history of drug abuse are excluded)."

Hi, has anybody been offered mirapex, which is given to Parkinsons sufferers.?
I have been reading some articles suggesting FMS is predominantly a neurological condition involving a reduction in dopamine. Chronic stress in childhood and throughout life or a physical cause e.g. car crash raising stress levels seems to be a precursor to FMS. Low levels of serotonin another neurotransmitter
