Pramipexole - shall I go cold Turkey?
I have been weaning myself off
Pramipexole
and am now down to 1/2 tablet each night. I am up to 150mg of Pregabalin. I’m ready to kick Pram into the bin where it belongs. Those of you who have stopped Pram, shall I go cold turkey now or do 1/4 tablet or one night on one night off?

Pramipexole, Mirtazapine and RLS
The GP said I can just stop the
Pramipexole
and see if the RLS has resolved, but I've seen lots of people comment you need to taper. My sister who is a pharmacy tech looked up their guidance, and even she said the advice at such a low dose is to just stop.

Introduction and looking for feedback
I've been on Mirapex or
Pramipexole
ever since. But I've been wondering about something my physician asked me at a recent visit: "Have you had any addictive tendencies like compulsive behavior as a side effect of being on this medication?"

Pramipexole / Pregabalin
After many years on
Pramipexole

Transitioning off pramipexole
I keep reading the absolute hell many people experience transitioning from
pramipexole
(or some other drug) to gabapentin. The worst seems to be when one is essentially finished with
pramipexole
but have taken very little gabapentin.

reversal of approval
Ihave been on Buprenorphine for two and a half month and doing well. I was able to stop the Pramipexol. All of a sudden, the pharmacy says it can’t refill it as it doesn’t carry an indication for RLS.. They are Dayi g their pharmacist made a mistake. My doctor has spoken to them and they are demanding

My Efforts to Educate the Scientific Community
I think we may also find that the augmentation which some people experience while taking
Pramipexole
and similar drugs is due to stress on the liver and a resulting endogenous production of oxalic acid.

Sobriety and preparing withdrawal from Pramipexole
I have been sober for 23 years, but a few years back I started taking
Pramipexole
. This drug has created more problems for me than it has solved.

Buprenorphine and TMS
I just started TMS for the severe depression after stopping the
pramipexole
( even after a slow taper while on the Bup). I was already on a max dose of Buproprion and can’t tolerate Trazadone or any other antidepressant, so I was referred for TMS( repetitive TMS).
