Husband's neurologist is weaning him off levadopa carbadopa to put him completely on pramipexol.
HiI'm not sure I am in the right place here. I have a question. My husband has had parkinsons for about 12 years. He has been taking levadopa carbadopa. He has a new neurologist who introduced pramipexol slowly with the levadopa carbadopa of which he takes 1/2 of a 250/25 pill 3 X a day. Pramipexol is

Buprenorphine Naloxone dose
I am very concerned about getting addicted to the opioid AND increasing the
pramipexole
. I see a potential one way street opening up in that direction.... and the Nausea sucks! What should I do? Should I try to persuade the Neurologist to increase the Buprenorphine dose?

Pramipexole to Buprenorphine
Has anyone been on a low dose of
Pramipexole
and do a straight swap over to Buprenorphine? If so, how did you achieve this? Thanks

pramipexole (containing Dopamine), can it contribute to heart regurgitation?
I recently had an echocardiogram after chest x-ray for breathlessness and it was thought to show an enlarged heart , but later found it wasn’t, hence the ecg. It has shown that I have some regurgitation which GP said nothing to worry about but I have read that Dopamine can be a cause of this. Can anyone

Getting off Pramipexole:
You advise using Gabipentin to get off
Pramipexole
. Ga bipentin makes me crazy . My doctor and my family warns me about Gabipetnin and what it did the last time I tried it. I would like to get off
Pramipexole
but Gabipentin is not the answer for me.

Does anyone else suffer from these RLS symptoms? - Need Help, all comments appreciated
I have been prescribed
pramipexole
. Firstly, I am aware of augmentation and the cautions issued by all of you. Second, I have only taken it once and it doesn't work for me. It just caused me to twitch even more as I am about to fall sleep. Maybe that's a good thing.

Hell: Weaning off pramipexole
I need your help: I am on my transiation from
pramipexole
to Gabapentin. I'm now at 300mg gabapentin at 6pm and 600mg gabapentin at 10pm. My maximum dose of prami was 0.125. I am almost off it.

NEURO LIFE NOW SURVEY UK
This is particularly relevant if you are taking or have been taking Ropinirole,
Pramipexole
or the Neupro Patch. Mention if you have had blood tests refused or if you have failed dopaminergic drugs and pregabalin/gabapentin and have been refused low dose opioids.

Which iron supplement is the best and what dose?
I am going to start cutting down my
pramipexole
- have a tablet cutter. So will half them and slowly reduced over 2 - 3 months. Will take oral iron therapy every other day/night. And will explore red vein krakom to help (Teddy J recommended) Am I on the right track? Any other advice?

GABA Nutrientsupplement vs Gabapentin and other Prescription Drugs of the same order
I have had RLS for about 6 years. The first medication was Levodopa 100mg as usual. After about 2 years it didn‘t do anything for me anymore. My new medication was Pramipexol 0.088 mg, which for 6 months worked OK. Then continuesly insomnia set in and I was sleeping or better just dosing off for 1-2

Lexicon of Equivalent Patent and Generic RLS Medications?
Same for Mirapex and
pramipexole
which appear to be the same as "Sifrol." And, while updating my list of RLS medicines within the past month, I was surprised to find that two of the listed medicines (Klonopin and clonazepam) were, in fact, the same.

What’s a good rule of thumb to weaning off Pramipexole?
Pramipexole
and Lyrica has been doing great for past 6 weeks and now, not so much. Too many side effects with the

Pramipexole to Buprenophine
Friends, Has anyone experience of going from
Pramipexole
directly to Buprenophine? If so: Did you have to be completely finished with the
Pramipexole
before commencing the Buprenophine?

Is it Primary RLS or Idiopathic Tramadol-induced RLS?
Over these past few weeks and months--and despite the discontinuance of
pramipexole
and the substantially reduced tramadol dose--my daytime RLS discomfort now is about the same as it had been while I was taking the greater tramadol dose (and
pramipexole
, supplemented with hydorcodone as needed for pain

Dopamine agonists
These include ropinirole,
pramipexole
and rotigotine." No mention in that answer of problems with augmentation and that Gabapentin/ Pregabalin is the preferred treatment now. Don't RLS-UK agree with the advice that's generally given in this forum?

Pramipexole to Gabapentin
Given I've been on
Pramipexole
for over 10 years, should I expect success from Gabapentin? I have managed to reduced my
Pramipexole
daily intake from 4 x 0.125mg to 1 x 0.125mg, but life is completely dire. As of today I haven't slept more than 6 hours in the last 72 hrs.

Iron Levels
I am on a reduction program for
pramipexole
, and it’s going really well. I’m taking gentle iron every other night. I also have some codeine tablets and I take one at bedtime. However I had surgery about eight weeks ago. I had my second full iron panel blood test about four weeks ago.
