Hi, I suffer from RLS each night and I am due to go into hospital for a knee joint replacement. Any advice would be welcome
Having suffered with RLS for many years on a nightly basis I take
Pramipexole
and Co Codamol and have my own routine for trying to get some quality sleep. I am very concerned that immediately post operation with my leg immobilised, how will I be able to cope when my RLS kicks in?

Has any research been done into possible links with any type of bladder issue?
I have been taking
pramipexole
for years, and it usually keeps things bearable, but not always. I have a few other problems, which I know are commonly connected......... 1. Part-syndrome narcolepsy (I can stop myself falling asleep, but it requires a certain amount of effort).

RLS. Legs driving me crazy tonight
Have recently changed my medication for RLS from
Pramipexole
to Gabapentin as I felt that it was the
Pramipexole
that was not mixing well with my Methotrexate and making the nausea worse.

2 mg plus Mirapex user for over 16 years
I take at least 2mg of
Pramipexole
every evening. Used to take 900mg of neurotin with 1mg of mirapex. Been to so many doctors with no results. Had surgery for double vision and I still have it. Doctors have no explination as to why. Lost my job from double vision and am now on disability.

I've been taking Pramipexole prolonged release for about four years now.
It works quite well, but it makes me sleepy. That doesn't matter because I don't drive anymore, and I'm retired. In fact it's a good thing, it saves me lots of money. I like to buy things on Ebay, but sometimes when I'm about to bid, I fall asleep and wake to find the auction ended! I get mildly annoyed

Time to relief with Pramipexole
I'm prescribed 2 x 0.18 mg
Pramipexole
a day. I take the first during the evening and the second during the night. I've found that I don't get any relief until two hours after taking the first dose. It used to take up to one hour for relief but the time has increased during the last year.

Pramipexole - to take it or not?
On the one hand it seems like monster medication with its threat of compulsive behaviour (food? amongest) and other side effects.. On the other hand am I being fool hardy in delaying taking it and making things worse?. Its like being between a rock and a hard place. I was diagnosed last year. I know

Thinking of coming off of dopamine agonists and seeing what my rls is like. Anyone do withdrawal with the help of zopiclone or other meds? X
Then I developed RLS when I was pregnant in 2008 which got progressively worse until I started Ropinirole in 2010 which was a year of hell so I did a horrible withdrawal and started
pramipexole
and clonazepam both at the lowest doses.

One doctor says take pramipexole 3 tablets, twice daily and the other doctor says he doesn't believe in it and take levodopa. Any thoughts?
I've been taking
pramipexole
for just less then two months and other then a few minor side effects I'm really not sure what's it's done for me. Anyone got on thoughts on these meds. Just wanted a second opinion.

Pramipexole v Ropinorole
My GP has given me
Pramipexole
2 x 0.88mg. They work and give relief for longer but I still find sleep difficult. If after a month of
Pramipexole
I went back onto Ropinorole would the augmentation I experienced have gone as I would have been off the Ropinorole for a month??

What do you do when you have been through every drug on the list? Everything works for a while then stops or makes things worse Desperate.
She has just started a low dose of
Pramipexole
and we have cut her anti depressants down to a low dose. We tried Roprinerole. that was good for a while then the augmentation set in. Went onto Rotigotine patches. OK for 6 mths then all the side effects started badly.

Can anyone tell me about their experiences with Pramipexole. Can you sleep with out waking up every 2 hours for one thing?
Pretty good drug all round in terms of cognitive function, memory and energy. Not sleeping is a bit of a bitch though.
