I started taking .125 Mirapex last night. That seemed to go well but I'm not 100% sure of the results, because I still have ReQuip in my system. I did take another Mirapex today @ 4:00pm. I did not get as tired as I did with ReQuip and I have not had any symptoms of RLS as of yet. I plan on taking another one before bed tonight. I also have not had the typical mood swing as I did with the ReQuip.....Yeah!!! I will keep you updated.

Thanks to all and be Blessed!

Well its Sunday night here in MI and I had to take a Mirapex at @ 7PM. All went well with knocking down the RLS and I didnt get to tired from it. I still feel pretty awake. I took my family to a Whitecaps game today and I didnt do alot of walking there and I didnt suffer any RLS symptoms at all. This is a HUGE improvement over the ReQuip days. I have not had any augmentation or rebound either.

I also registered to attend the RLS Regional Patient Meeting in Chicago. Sounds like it will be good.

Thanks for listening!

Excellent! Truly, that is the greatest, isn't it? That relief when it all is working out.

Glad you are coming to Chicago - I'll see you there. Maybe we could come up with a signal so we know who's from the message board. We could write our screen names on our badges if we wanted to be identified...and if there are badges!

Well lets see. I started taking .25 Mirapex 4 days ago. I'm happy with the results. I have experienced NO augmentation or rebound (thats wonderful) and I am well on my way to getting back to not being so tired and grumpy.....YEAH! I also can wait to take the Mirapex at around 7PM. With the ReQuip I was taking it anywhere from 10:30AM to 4:30PM at a dose of .5mg each time.

Thanks for all of your support!!! Please feel free to e-mail me or just post on this topic.
