Med side effect
sorry for the TMI but I’m having pretty severe constipation from my meds. I’m eating prunes, drinking Miralax and resorting to ExLax and things are still a struggle. Drinking tons of water also. Anyone have a surefire tip? It will get better, won’t it? Again, sorry for the unsavory topic.

Scared and Frustrated
The beginning of February i thought i had the beginnings of maybe a stomach bug. Bloating, gas, sudden urge and need to use the bathroom.... only nothing would come, just mucus and very very small amounts if unformed fluff. This continued till I noticed i hadn't had a real movement for nearly two weeks

Differing Docs
My doctors disagree with one another - one says take Miralax every day. That was my gastroenterologist. Colo-rectal surgeon says - stop that right away, it's not meant for long term - take Metamucil. Years ago I took Metamucil and ended up almost with a blockage. My problem is motility. Nothing

Phosphorous questions
I have been on home hemo now for almost four months. My phosphorous has steadily increased. I never had issues with Phos until dialysis. They have put me on Sevelamer binder, which totally cemented me up, when I took two a day. I mean in pain constipation. I backed off to one a day, when they wanted

Gabapentin success
I've had RLS for over 35 years getting worse as I get older. I'm now 74. I did well on mirapexin 0.09mgs for years. Then it made my RLS worse and it moved to my arms . I came off it with the help of tramadol 50mgs. I started alternating mirapexin and tram ,it wasn't perfect but better than nothing, Then

Success (I hope) with Gabapentin
I have had RLS for more years than I can remember. For years I took mirapexin till I augmented. I tried Pregabalin but I felt dizzy all the time and I put on a lot of weight quickly. I started tramadol and then alternated between that and mirapexin ( yes I went back on it). I coped like this for a long

Low dose Naltrexone or Suboxone. I'm seeing my doctor this week. Which one is best
After many years of RLS and coping quite well. First the dreaded mirapexin and then tramadol nothing is working at the moment. I was on 0.09 mg mirapexin. Now I'm on 50mg tram. Even if I take 100mgs it's not working so I'm obviously augmenting. Even Kratom isn't helping. I made an appointment with my

IBD symptoms with no diagnosis
I was just diagnosed with IBS 6 months ago, before my 40th birthday. It started with persistent constipation, bloating and cramping that led to a colonoscopy. Since my mother has Crohn's, I expected the same diagnoses, but instead I got an all clear from the GI doctors. The months that followed put my

Covid
Ok I'm taking 0.09mg
mirapex
every evening. Nothing else works except tramadol which I alternate with every so often. Is there anything else that works. I've tried pregabalin and the others but nothing. I would like to stop mirapexin completely but too scared.

Morphine constipation help
Only taking 7mg of morphine. In my third month. It is helping my PLMD but the constipation is horrible, and also sedation/fatigue has set in, and while I can drink caffeine it doesn't seem to have any effect. (I wish I had stayed at 4mg--it was helping less but I had more energy and controllable constipation

Finally a specialist appointment...
I am looking forward to an appt in 2 days with a specialist in proctology and she is a colon surgeon and does pelvic floor therapy as well. My hemerrhoids - or whatever this is - are not getting better. Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water, miralax and occasional stool softener.

Questions about Neupro
Hello, Is it fine to taper off Neupro (rotigotine) patches by cutting out pieces? And what is the equivalent dose of Mirapexin extended release to a patch of Neupro 2mg ? Thanks!

Suffering like hell since I tried to taper off a dopamin agonist
Hi all, From Feb to Aug, I succesfully tapered off Venlafaxine extended release that I had taken for 28 years. I had started taking this medicine when I was 20 after what was probably a post-traumatic stress episode diagnosed as 'fibromyalgia' by my doctors back at that time. I tried several times to

rotary cuff tear and rls
I am now taking oxycodone and
mirapex
. sometimes it helps, sometimes not. The oxycodone does not help me with other types of pain. So I am hoping the orthopedic dr. will give me a different stronger pain med and i will not take the oxycodone.

Duration of dopamine agonist withdrawal symptoms?
I stopped Mirapexin extended release 0.26mg 12 days ago, and my withdrawal symptoms are a nightmare and getting worse and worse. How long should it last? When can I hope to be better ?

Radiotherapy for prostate local and retroperitoneal nodes
ADT of lupron and abiraterone has been pretty tolerable so far, almost four months - maybe I got cocky. Started my SBRT 28 fraction 70 Gy radiotherapy four days ago, mild to moderate urinary urgency and some burn started almost immediately. Diarrhea started at night after day four, mild so far. How

Tips for tapering off pramipexole?
Hello, I suffer from RLS, probably because I took Venlafaxine for the last 29 years (this antidepressant is known to trigger and worsen RLS). My first RLS symptoms appeared around 2007. They remained mild until ~2015. Then they started to be strong enough to damage my sleep quality. I finally decided

Constipation
Hi helpful community. I am on 40 mg or prednisone for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the prednisone or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple
