pramepexole

Post by maybe »

I have no problem with my legs during the day so I forget to take a pill but when night come like after supper I still have no problem but I take a pill anyway but after I take a half of MG them my legs brother me. I find it strange that my legs bother me after taking the pill. Should I be taking a pill during the day even through I have no problem

It could well be that your pill isn't getting time to work before your symptoms kick in. I'd try taking it an hour earlier and see what happens.
If symptoms are still bothersome try taking the daytime one.
It's important to stay ahead of symptoms.

Keep a note of what happens.

It takes about two hours before pramipexole reaches its maximum level of effectiveness. So as Polar Bear says, you need to take the pill at least that much time before the symptoms start. If you wait too late and you start getting symptoms, it will just take that much longer before they calm down again. So, given a choice, it is better to take the pill a bit too early to stay ahead rather than wait too late and then suffer the consequences.
