Well I went thru my Mirapex Augmentation for 7 days of hell and could not take it anymore. I have been back on Mirapex for about a week, but have cut down to .5mg/day and seems to work.

Well its my 4th day into showing Mirapex who is boss but we already know who that is. I have already tried all drugs that I know of, Requip, Neupro patch, Lyrica, Neurotin and none of them worked. I have RLS all my life but it was a minor problem. After I grew older and retired is when it became a m...

Here we go again. My Mirapex is in augmentation again. Its been rough for around 2 weeks but I had other problems I needed to take care of first. Ann I took your (and others) advice and cut down my doseage from various high amounts to (2) .5mg tabs/day. The last time I had Mirapex augmentation probl...

OK Ann and Steve, I think I finally understand. I don't need a trial to see if Pregabalin goes into Augmentation but for possible side effects and see if it helps my RLS . My Dr. prescribed Pregabalin a few years ago for back pain but it never helped so I quit taking it. I never noticed any side eff...

Ann thanks for your thoughts. I have had this terrible RLS for many years and was always alone until you all showed up. I want to find out if Pregabalin goes into Augmentation like Pramipexoli and if not I will switch over. I think we are together about a trial run. I think if my Pramipexoli goes in...

Has anyone heard anymore about Lyrica vs. Pramipexoli Augmentation?? I have started a Lyrica trial twice and had to cancel both times because of sickness and other reasons. My thought now is to try again the next time my Pramipexoli goes into Augmentation. Like I have said before, I have never kept ...

Yes Mirapex is a seductive drug because it works, and I have found nothing else that works like it. True, when Augmentation sets in hell is here for a few days. Then it starts working again for a while. I have never kept records of how long the drug is in Augmentation or how long it works, but it wo...

We just got back home from a week long vacation. Had a great time, except for the 7 hr drive there and 7 hr drive back. I was on passenger side and my son-in-law drove. I was prepared and took my Mirapex at what I thought was good time to take them. I also took my Hydrocodon-acetaminoph Tab's and ev...

Yesterday I took (3) Lyrica. 1 @ 10am, 1 @ 4pm and 1 @ 8pm along with 1 .5mg Mirapex @ 9pm because legs were bugging me. I went to bed @ approx. 9:30pm. I slept about 6 hrs. It seems like Lyrica is not working with this setup and we are going on a week vacation soon and I am going back on Mirapex (P...

Beth, I started on (2) 50mg on my 1st night and it did nothing for me and I ended up taking a .5mg Mirapex before getting any sleep. (not much sleep) Today I will have taken (3) 50mg Lyrica's and see what happens.

Ann I went to my Family Dr. today and got some 50 mg Lyrica samples. The Dr. said take 3/day. I wonder why 3/day and not start off with 1/day and see what happens. She also said don't take any more Gabapentin with Lyrica. ???

Also, I tried Neupro and it did not help much.

Well I just had my week of hell because Mirapex went into Augmentation again, but I'm now back on .5mg of Mirapex/day until I can get something better. I have to go to a new Dr. to get to try Lyrica and that's not until mid July. I hope Mirapex works for a while.

I'm already taking Gabapentin. I was taking it for another problem but it was not helping that problem and I was going to stop but saw on here where people was using it for WED/RLS and continued after. I know I said I could not afford Lyrica, I guess I should have said I did not WANT to spend that m...

Thank you Ann. My Dr. gave me these samples a couple of weeks ago and did not specify where to apply them and I never questioned him because I thought I was happy with Mirapex/Pramepixoli. I also need to maybe check out Lyrica but don't know if I can afford it.LOL
