It has been effective but reading about these medicines I am scared to death that it will be a spoil sport for me in the future. What should I do? My neurologist asked me to continue with Mirapex while its effective and according

It's Almost Graduation Day...saying goodbye to RLS
I am 63 and have had RLS since I was 17 yrs old in College. Like most everybody else, the RLS got worse over the years. When Ropenerol was brought to market I jumped all over it. Then the usual augmentation happened with burning feet, insomnia and the need to take more. I switched to Mirapex and quickly

RLS - meds
Hello, I have reached the point where Lyrica and Mirapex don't seem to be working for me as well - I take 2 of each every day. My worst period of time is between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. Sometimes the meds work just fine, the other nights it is atrocious until either my meds start working or I pass out. Saturday

Weighted blanket
I am on day 6 of no mirapex after augmentation. It’s been a rough week, last night I slept for 6 hours straight. More than I’ve slept in a week combined. I used a weighted blanket. Whether or not it’s a coincidence, not sure but it may have just been the extra help needed. Worth a try! I mean what’s

RLS and medications
I have severe RLS. I took Mirapex for 7 years but experienced augmentation. So, for the last 4 years, I have not taken anything. I had to retire early because of the lack of sleep due to the RLS. I developed a yeast infection and was given nystatin which is an antifungal medication. My restless legs

Watchdog sues FDA for dragging its feet on Parkinson's drug warnings
Moving the FDA's gears can be a lengthy process, particularly when it comes to citizen petitions. But after waiting two and a half years for regulators to stiffen impulse-control warnings on dopamine-driving Parkinson's drugs, one watchdog group ran out of patience. Public Citizen sued the agency Monday

I'm gonna raise it because I have a little bit of RLS symptoms showing. Not anywhere near I was afraid I was going to have. Even the RN

Appointment with Dr. Buchfuhrer
Had first appointment with Dr. Buchfuhrer about ten days ago. He is very attentive, determined to find a solution, and his follow through is exactly as he told us it would be. He follows up immediately as he told us he would via phone and patient portal. He started my husband on Methadone, a small

Finally, relief!
For 17 years my primary care doctor had me on Alprazolam or Xanax. It started when I was having anxiety from work-related things. I noticed it stopped my RLS so the doctor reduced my dose to the lowest dose, and I'd cut it in half, besides. My doctor retired and my new doctor cut me off it. She said

Off Mirapex
Hello everyone, I am now 5 days off Mirapex of course was a slow weaning process. I am not sleeping but maybe 30-45 min here or there, having to walk the floors. I’m sure a lot of you would say get an opioid but docs are not too willing to write scripts. I know it is all individualized but can anyone

Gabapentin dose increase or add mirapex?
Hi everyone My lovely gp prescribed gabapentin on the advice of the consultant neurologist I saw in September (for a very brusque 10 min appointment - now discharged). I have been on 300mg 3x a day for 4 weeks but no effect on my symptoms. He has given me the option of increasing the gabap or sticking

Natural Remedies for RLS
This is my first post. Has anyone had success with natural remedies forRLS? I’ve dealt with it for eleven years and have tried the usual prescriptions (Tramadol, Mirapex, etc.) with mixed results. Thanks!

Mirapex guilt
I've been on Mirapex for years and Gabapentin for a year. Both work well, i sleep 5-6 hours, and experience no RLS. After reading posts on here, I feel guilty for taking both meds, but if they work well, why is that so frowned upon? Isn't the ultimate goal relief and peace?

I was taking mirapex 1tab 3x/day for almost 8 months then I stopped taking them. On my last
