Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have been on pramipexole for a decade, with symptoms markedly worse within the last year. My GP strongly recommended going from .50 mg to 1.0 mg. I knew that was wrong, so didn’t do it. Instead, I requested..and received…Tramadol and stuck with the o.5 mg. That kept me semi-stable for a short time...
