Insurance moved to another tier, paying $48.00 for 30 day supply! Pray I can tolerate ! I finally got in with doctor walters with Vanderbilt and this is what he wants me to try with the Gabapentin, thanks for your information!

Just be aware that Neupro is also a dopamine agonist, and it is quite possible to augment on it just like you augmented on Mirapex. Keep the dose as low as possible (some people cut the patches). Don't neglect your iron - your main solution to this WED/RLS problem will be through iron, not through another dopaminergic medication.

P.S> I'm happy you're finally sleeping!
