Please advise:What should I take for RLS after getting off Pramipexole and Ropinirole?

My neurologist gave me low-dose Methadone to get through it. I have only a couple of 10 mg Methadone pills left and I still get jerking in my

Fired the doc a year ago..here I am today
I'm off
pramipexole
almost a year now!! I take no meds (since a year) and have moved from chronic RLS to mild- moderate. I sleep at night in blocks of 3 and 4 hours. In between I watch light tv on YouTube like Poirot, nothing too exciting! It takes my mind off the restlessness.

BE careful when adding drugs.
Pramipexol: used it for 20 years and was taking 12 tablets .5mg Down to 1 per night. It is the only medicine I take for RLS. At one time I was taking about 4 medicines . It was hell getting off of them. The worst was hemereon. don't know how it is spelled I threw away the container. Be careful when a

Time for a sea change?
Besides, selegiline was more tolerable than bromocriptine (OR = 0.62, CI: 0.39 to 0.98) and
pramipexole
had a higher withdraw rate than levodopa.” I think Prami and Requip should be banned and everyone switched over to Neupro until they can be comfortably withdrawn from even that.

Augmentation on low dose pramipexole?
Hi folks, is it possible to get augmentation if I am only taking 88 to 176mcg per day of
pramipexole
and have only been doing so for about 3 months. It worked well initially but now I'm getting symptoms during the day as well as at night.

Has anybody out there had any success with holistic supplements or gadgets?
I’m currently on
pramipexole
and doing okay for the time being but sounds like that could end. I’m trying to find alternatives. Thank you

First time for this.
Haven’t been on 300 gabapentin, .25
pramipexole
, very long but it has been great. Not any symptoms of RLS or augmenting until last night. It was my whole body. The ‘can’t get comfortable feeling’ is the closest I can describe it.

Does anyone know anything about Mirapex withdrawal?
I am tapering from Mirapex/
pramipexole
. I only had a few bad days after my first cut. I started at 0.5 mg. Then I dropped to 0.375 mg. When I droopped to 0.25 mg I started getting into real trouble – make that torture. Does anyone have any experience with tapering from Mirapex?

Pramipexole, reducing
Former Minerva, you said you kept taking the pram for several months along with the gabapentin. How low a dose did you get to before you stopped?? Then did you still get any augmenting??

Meds and rls
Was on
pramipexole
for over 15 years was up to 3mg. Have slowly tapered off of it and switched to a lower dose of requip hopefully don't have to deal with as many side effects mostly hypersexuality. My rls symptoms seem to be starting earlier in the day by 3 in the afternoon.

TOO HOT, TOO COLD= NO SLEEP
Tonight my RLS and body temperature regulation are going wild. Covers on and I sweat; covers off and am cold. I can't lay down for 1 minute without twitching and getting up. About a week ago I completed a 38 week reduction of pramipexol from 2.0mg / day for 7 years to 0 mg. Four days ago I started taking
