Managing medication
I was taking
mirapex
which worked fairly well taking some in middle afternoon, some around dinner and some before bed. The two side effects that were the most prominent were sudden onset of extreme sleepiness and compulsiveness.

Wanting to discontinue Mirapex
I would like to discontinue
Mirapex
after using for over 20 years for RLS. I have read so many adverse side effects of this drug if taken for a long period of time. After reading some of the posts on this site, I am now very worried about doing it myself.

Iron infusions
For my daytime RLS I've tried so many Rx's for RLS (
Mirapex
, Horizant, Neupro, etc.) and the only thing that helped me without the awful side effects was strong opioids, but my neurologist won't prescribe them, and my GP won't prescribe them because of all the talk about abusing opioids lately in the

Successful withdrawal from Pramipexole (Mirapex)
As I begin this withdrawal, a few questions have popped up and would be eternally grateful to read of your trials and errors as you terminated Pramipexole. In what increments did you who have gone through this challenge cut your dosage? How long did you wait before the next reduction? What strategy

Newbie. Am I taking too much Pramipexole?
I was prescribed a low dose of
Mirapex
around 2001 and the doctor promised no side effects. Since thenl, I have moved and have a new doctor. My prescription now reads 3 X 0.5mg/day. I chew the first one around 5pm and the other two (one broken up and one whole) before I go to bed around 10.

Augmentation drug study
I see in the latest Nightwalker that a study is being undertaken by William Ondo MD at Houston Methodist Neurological Institute (Texas) evaluating the possibile role of the drug ecopipam in reversing dopamine agonist augmentation. They are looking for participants who are: Available for 6 or 7 visits

Cannibis and the Relaxis Pad = relief
I still take generic
Mirapex
, and about 5-10 mg of Ambien every night. Wish those of you who can get it, would try it. But, I don’t know the strain I use since what I have now was grown at a friend’s daughter’s home. Good luck to all on this quest for normalcy, whatever that is. I’ve forgotten.

Just Got out of ER. Have to have surgery on hernias. Nervous. Has anyone had this done? Was Mesh used?
Hi, had severe pain and was taken to ER. Was diagnosed with several problems and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I know alot of these problems occur because of straining due to severe constipation. Unfortunately, Have to resort to a stimulant laxative as nothing else works. The Gastro does not want me to

OBSESSIVENESS
(In your part of the world it is called
Mirapex
). From the very first day that I started my dosage of Sifrol, the obscene obsessiveness struck. Only I had no idea.
