Early augmentation???
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2006 2:34 am
Hi all,
I've had RLS for several years. Over the last year, I've found that I have to switch back and forth between Mirapex and Requip. I ramp up each one up slowly (over 4-5 weeks). Once I'm at 1 mg for a couple of weeks, the augmentation sets in. Then I switch to the other, and slowly ramp it up.
Has anyone else had such rapid augmentation issues? The weird thing is that every time I switch, I get relief within a few days, which lasts until the augmentation sets in.
I'm also on Neurontin (600 mgs at bedtime) and Tylenol #3.
