Stopping Mirapex after 18 years
New member. Stopped Mirapex .75mg daily 6 days ago. Am now taking lyrica 75mg and tramadol 50 mg at noon and 6pm. I felt that I had quite a few side effects from the Mirapex including head aches, very stiff neck, arthritis, occasional rashes, fibromyalgia, less effectiveness, and some possible others

I'm new and just reading the posts on rls. Ive battled it for 10 years or so. It is a miserable feeling! Now taking ropinerole.
I hate dealing with this and I"d really like to know what causes it and surely there must be other medications besides mirapex and ropinerole. to deal with this condition. People make jokes about it but if you've never experienced it, you do not have a clue how awful it makes you feel

Trying to wean off Mirapexin nightmare.
To tide me over whilst trying to come off
mirapexin
, because of augmentation problems, my gp prescribed me clonazepam and quinine . I went home with high hopes that this was going to stop the torture I was going through, and also let me sleep.

Finally some relief!
After suffering with 24/7 all over the body RLS for 25 years, I found a Movement Disorder Clinic in Denver, Colorado. Took 5 months to get an appointment but has been SO worth it! I literally had no quality of life. I had seen many neurologists over the years, was prescribed Mirapex, requip to max

Sleep Apnea

Mirapexin
and he wondered if I had sleep apnea and if I had periodic leg movement in the night, I went to our local sleep centre and yes I have sleep apnea as well as restless legs they recommended this awful mask to wear I can not bring myself to wear it

An almost totally sleepless night
I was on
Mirapexin
for over 10 yrs and I know I was lucky because mostly it was brilliant. I don't think there is anything out there as good as
Mirapexin
. All my bloods came back good including the ferritin. Sorry to go on.

More off time and freezing
Hi Everyone, My friend was diagnosed nearly 3 years ago and has been doing well until recently. She takes Sinemet 25/100mg four times a day along with 1 x Mirapex. She`s having more problems during her off time between Sinemet doses and has started to freeze on occasions which has caused her great concern

How long does it take for Mirapex to get out of your system when it is stopped?
My neurologist thinks that Mirapex 1.5 mg for RLS is causing my sudden sleep attacks. She has changed me to Gapabentin. How long does it take for the Mirapex to get out of my system? The last dose of Mirapex was Dec 21 at bedtime and I had another sleep attack last night.
