Gabapentin or Pregabalin?
I put weight on before I started taking Gabapentin ( I was on Ropinirole for a while, augmented badly on it, then Neupro (Rotigotine) patch which worked for years then ‘stopped’ working, tried
Pramipexole
but was really scared about augmenting again though I didn’t but the worry was enough, so tried

Alternating cannabis and pramipexole
I've been prescribed
pramipexole
by sleep specialist and my doctor. They're following the Mayo algorithm so I have to do this before they'll consider opioids. I've tried pregabalin, etc without success. Starting
pramipexole
on .125mg, up to max .75mg.

Transitioning to Gabapentin Enacarbil
I need some advice when it comes to starting Horizant while moving away from
Pramipexole
. I've been on Pram for about 12 years and although it still works generally, it's getting less an less effective. So it's time to move on. Gabapentin Enacarbil (Horizant) is what I'm moving to.

Update on first visit with Neurologist
She totally supports me coming off
pramipexole
and wants me to start with Gabapentin at a much higher dose than before. Then she brought up using opioids as she recognised the severity of my RLS. So have also got a prescription for Buprenorphine/naloxone. I am to keep taking the iron supplement.

getting off pramipexole
I’ve run into a RLP problem trying to get off
pramipexole
. I reduced the
pramipexole
from .5 mg to .375 mg. I’m into my 4 th week. I’ve increased the Gabapentin to 600 mg and having to use codine twice daily. I’m taking 5 mg of codine per dose. I’m still having from moderate to severe RLS pain.

My GP is happy for me to reduce the
Pramipexole
and has started me on Gabapentin. Although she says she wouldn’t be happy for me to take more than 600mg a day.

I am taking 900mg of Gabapentin and 2 x .088
Pramipexole
. My neurologist has not said anything about coming off of the
Pramipexole
. Should I come off if it myself. Obviously, I would go down to 1 x .088 and then two weeks later stop it altogether. Should I do this?

Introduction
Started on
Pramipexole
at that time and after a year switched to Ropinerole, which didn't do as much. Switched back about 10 years ago. On it ever since. Going to try Gabapentin Enacarbil, which works differently. Haven't started it yet. Can't get a definitive answer on the transfer.

Changing Medication
My GP appeared unhappy that I had been proactive in trying to get off
Pramipexole
etc. anyway he will prescribe Oxycodone but at 5mg at night, he says this is equivalent to the dose suggested by Neurologist as the naloxone in Targinact reduce the Oxycodone.

swapping Pramipexole for ropinorole
have been on
Pramipexole
for several years, Pregabalin added this year, worked well but rls breaking through now so was taken off
Pramipexole
and put on ropinorole, still with Pregabalin. Stopped
Pramipexole
dead, built up ropinorole dosage slowly, and continued Pregabalin.

restless legs
I started with .25mg
pramipexole
(Sifrol) now taking .75mg and olmesartan/amlodipine for high blood pressure. I have had rls before this but only occasionally. He has now suggested an iron tablet Maltofer which I am starting today. I have a history of low iron, borderline anaemic at times.

Cold Turkey!
After 1 year He told me that if I didn't get off
Pramipexole
in the next six months he would no longer treat me. He said he has patients going Cold Turkey all the time and what am I waiting for. We rented a cabin in Mexico. I stoped taking
Pramipexole
.

Unfortunately, King's College RLS Clinic continues to prescribe Rotigitone, even when patients have suffered severe augmentation on Ropinirole or
Pramipexole
. Two down, many more to go. But, slowly, the word is getting out there.
