Hey, Matt.
This doesn't sound like augmentation, but it could be side effects. Pain is definitely a side effect of Requip for some people. Not sure if I've heard the same for Mirapex, but I easily could have forgotten if I had.
Yeah, the thought of stopping it after just finding relief sure doesn't sound appealing. But, it might be the only way to find out if it's the drug or something else going on.
Can/will your doc give you an opioid temporarily to see what happens? Maybe two weeks of Vicodin would let you know if it's the Mirapex or a new symptom.
