I have been on .25 mirapex for about 3 months. At first it worked like a charm, but like you I became overwhelmingly drowsy. Since then it has worked well, without the drowsiness but I began getting headaches at night. Recently, (the last week or 2) my RLS has been tremendously worse. It may be even...

In so much pain!!
Is there any non-pharm treatment for RLS? I am in agony today, and I don't have any way of dealing with the pain. I am on .25 mg of Mirapex and it doesn't seem to work at all. I take it at night but my legs twitch throughout the night and it seems like I don't get any relief. What should I do? Is th...

Mirapex not enough?
I have been taking .25mg of mirapex at night, with some improvment of my RLS. But lately I have been waking up with twitching legs and it is so bad it wakes up my wife too. I haven't had it this bad in a while, usually I just feel it during the day but now it's seriously effecting my sleep. What sho...

Yep I sure do. Sometimes it starts in my lower back and goes down to toes, some times the other way around but I totally have it in my lower back. When I saw Dr at Johns Hopkins he asked if I had any RLS in my trunk. Due to his question I would guess it's possible. Hope this helps. I think the firs...

As an outsider (and arguably someone who has a somewhat objective view) I do think that what Zach originally wrote was appropriate, though I admit I don't know the rules of this site entirely. His point was that the FDA's decision mirrors the administration's push towards a nationalized healthcare s...

I understand your point Fidgetboy, but I do think that Zach's points are entirely valid and spot on. However, it's rather pointless to gripe about any one person or political party since these matters are not easily changed. I have a hard enough time advocating for myself let alone having to worry a...

See, this is the way they will get doctors to stop prescribing methadone and other drugs. First, I don't take methadone, and I don't plan on it. But if I need it I want to be able to take it because I know what RLS pain can be like. There is very little in this life that causes me extreme agony that...

Zach, I cannot get that link to work at all for me. Every time I try it gives me an error and shuts down my browser. Do you have it saved to your HD as a pdf. ? If so could you email it to joel.leiby@gmail.com ?

The only people they are going to hurt are those who actually NEED these meds. The druggies will get their drugs from other places besides health care providers. You are exactly right Zach, this is exactly what we are going to be dealing with now that Obama and his team are priming us for public hea...
