Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi, For 2 days I took 0.125 mg before bedtime and I slept like a log and after months I'm sleeping well. Also during the day I dont have any more funny feelings in me legs but all I feel is a tightness. I remeber when I went to the neuro my calf muscles were so sore so I guess its working. My only d...

OK! So if I start at 0.125 for 5 days and so on. How long does it take for the med to have full effect so I know when to stop or go up?

Thanks

Hi, I've read a few posts and I'm trying to sort things out. As I said in before clonazepam may help some but in my case they had me on 2.5 mgs per day which is too much of a price to pay but if it works for you at a low dosage then go for it but again it is very addictive. I've started mirapex at 0...

thanks for the info.

Yes he started me on 0.125 at 5 days interval and then 0.5 steady. So I think that is what you felt good at.

Thanks

I have been on klonopin for years for MS and it is ver addictive. See benzo.org.uk.
I was a 2.5 mgs per day and 6 years after I'm at 0,625 mg abd believe me it was not all happy days.

So if you have RLS go to meds like Mirapex.

Hi,

Me neuro is starting me on Mirapex.
0.125 at bedtime for 5 days
0.250 at bedtime for 5 days
0.5 mg till he sees me.

How long does it take to take effect?
What the side effects at the beginning?

Thanks

I've been on it for quite a while and it was used before for RLS but its the wrong stuff. Get off it because it is very addictive. To find out go to benzo.org.uk and you will see the horror stories.

Well!! I'm glad to have found this because I'm discovering that I had RLS for years and did not realize it. This one I've had for years: When I'M tired or under pressure, the first thing that happens I have legs tremor. I always thought is was MS but my neuro says no. Anyway I'm getting my presc, fo...

Well! I guess I'm joining the group and will follow my neuro's afdvice and take mirapex.

Thanks soo much

Does RLS include leg muscle stiffness after sitting for awhile?

Hi,, Please dont get on clonazepam as there are more meds out there. I was given conazepam 18 years ago at 1.5 mgs per day for MS and . In 2000 I was at 2.5 and decided to get off. Well believe me, I lost 45 lbs and could not even get out of the house. Thought I'd die. Almost drove my family crazy s...

I need your advice. I've had MS for 35 years and went to my GP last week and told him about my legs and he said it was RLS and gave me mirapex but I'm not sure so here are my symptoms: During the day my legs a somewhat weak and when I sit for awhile and get up they are still. Rarely I will be stting...
