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 ???

Too much Sinemet
First off, if you've seen one case of Parkinson's, you've seen one case of Parkinson's. In my wife's case,she experienced overdosing on Sinemet. She started by taking Mirapex when she was first diagnosed about 5 years ago. Even a small dosage was putting her to sleep for long periods of time. Her

Augmentation - please help
I am basically desperate, my neurologist does not believe in augmentation and all he says is to increase the dose of
Mirapexin
I am taking. This is not working and I am suffering every day more and more, affecting me in every level of my life as I don’t get to rest.

Mirapex
I have been on mirapex for about 10 years. For the most part I have had good success once I got to the 0.5 mg dose. I was just wondering why people try to wean themselves off Mirapex to go to another drug such a gabapentin. Just curiosity and wondering if I should follow suite. I have never posted

Little choice but to try
Hello again Unfortunately the pregabalin 150mg seems to be having little effect been back to doctors and his given me Neupro 1mg patch to try, having augmented on ropinirole and Mirapex I'm pretty sure this isn't the answer but the doctor had emailed a local neurologist and this was what he recommended

Mirapex - chest pain and breathing difficulties
Has anyone experienced chest pain or breathing difficulties while on Mirapex? For approximately 8 years I dealt with these symptoms. At night, I would awake suddenly gasping for air and experiencing terrible chest pain. It would only subside by being upright. I had a cardiac workup and nothing

Tramadol, Lyrica, etc
Appointment with GP last Thursday. Husband in terrible shape that day which was good for the doctor to actually SEE in person. Falling asleep at 4 PM in the room, couldn't focus well. Coming off the Ropinerole (augmentation) and 24/7 RLS for days. She prescribed Lyrica. He took it for three nights
