Mirapex to replace Horizant.
Well. I believe I have a winner. I'm taking the minimum dose right now .125 mgs and I was told by the pain drs RN I can raise it upto .250 mgs. Monday if I need to. I'm gonna raise it because I have a little bit of RLS symptoms showing. Not anywhere near I was afraid I was going to have. Even the RN

Appointment with Dr. Buchfuhrer
Had first appointment with Dr. Buchfuhrer about ten days ago. He is very attentive, determined to find a solution, and his follow through is exactly as he told us it would be. He follows up immediately as he told us he would via phone and patient portal. He started my husband on Methadone, a small

Finally, relief!
For 17 years my primary care doctor had me on Alprazolam or Xanax. It started when I was having anxiety from work-related things. I noticed it stopped my RLS so the doctor reduced my dose to the lowest dose, and I'd cut it in half, besides. My doctor retired and my new doctor cut me off it. She said

Off Mirapex
Hello everyone, I am now 5 days off Mirapex of course was a slow weaning process. I am not sleeping but maybe 30-45 min here or there, having to walk the floors. I’m sure a lot of you would say get an opioid but docs are not too willing to write scripts. I know it is all individualized but can anyone

Gabapentin dose increase or add mirapex?
Hi everyone My lovely gp prescribed gabapentin on the advice of the consultant neurologist I saw in September (for a very brusque 10 min appointment - now discharged). I have been on 300mg 3x a day for 4 weeks but no effect on my symptoms. He has given me the option of increasing the gabap or sticking

Natural Remedies for RLS
This is my first post. Has anyone had success with natural remedies forRLS? I’ve dealt with it for eleven years and have tried the usual prescriptions (Tramadol, Mirapex, etc.) with mixed results. Thanks!

Mirapex guilt
I've been on Mirapex for years and Gabapentin for a year. Both work well, i sleep 5-6 hours, and experience no RLS. After reading posts on here, I feel guilty for taking both meds, but if they work well, why is that so frowned upon? Isn't the ultimate goal relief and peace?

Amantadine or Mirapex?? I’ve noticed that my C/L 25/100 is only lasting 2hrs afterwards am like in slow motion....
But by the time it kicks in (1hr) am left with basically 1hr 1/2 and noticed that right hand tremor is more dominant now, I wanted to know if just taking c/l is enough for someone who has been with Pd for 10yrs? I was taking mirapex 1tab 3x/day for almost 8 months then I stopped taking them. On my last

What Meds are good for RLS for the elderly who hallucinate when taking Mirapex. How about Zolpidem/Ambian? I read zolpidem is an agonist.

Mirapex
I read people experience DAWS what is this. I am going to start weaning myself off Mirapex. The Doctor told me to take 1/2 pill every day for a week and then stop. I feel I should not do this. I also have had terrible things since taking Mirapex. I have gained 40 pounds and have been gambling terrible

dosage of B1 powder
I have been impressed with the positive postings of taking vitamin B1. I want to venture on taking Thiamine hcl high dosage in POWDER form but don't know where I can find instructions on how to take it except from this forum. Has anyone out there has any positive experience and suggestions? I'm 83

Mystery Leg pain..... I don’t know 🤔 where is it coming from!!!
1. From reducing mirapex I was taking three, went down to one. 2. A week ago I started the hdt b1 with 1 500mg capsule a day. 3. It’s vericouis veins (I know it’s misspelled) cuz the pain feels like my nerves are being squeezed it’s not RLS at least I don’t think so, last night I didn’t sleep at all,

Looking for relief on shuffling and freezing during off periods. These symptoms are driving me nuts....
Hey guys. I would like to have any recommendations may work to you all having similar disgusting episodes. It hurts my self esteem and erodes my strength. I have been with PD over 12 years now and I am able to deal with most symptoms like tremors, dystonia, stiffness, rigidity, muscle pain, hallucination

I Gave up Cigs
My RLS has been almost non-existent since I quit smoking cigarettes and weed on 1-20-19. If they bother me at all now, I can take Ibuprofen and it works. I have even successfully taken 50mg of Diphenhydramine to help me sleep (oxymoron, huh?). I’m still on Mirapex and plan on going forward with that

What meds for treatment of congestive heart failure and/or AFIB, amplify RLS?
My 77 year old sister has finally responded to treatment for the above , but her RLS is amplified, is often unbearable, happens sometimes all day and night, and taking Mirapex or Pramiprexole seem to be the cause of terrible hallucinations during sleep. Any suggestions ???
