Avatar m tn I have RLS - not related to withdrawal - and I take prescription Mirapex. It works great. If your father is having trouble with RLS not related to opiate or other drug withdrawal, you may want to see your doctor.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever tried the withdrawal ease supplement to ease hydrocodone withdrawal? I have been taking about 6-8 a day, but I want to stop taking them but am afraid of the withdrawal. I think I am going to try the supplements, and also taper. If anyone has advice, PLEASE tell me. Thank you!
Avatar n tn I tapered off the medication and immediately afterwards began experiencing super-sensitive allergic reactions to the environment. This was not a withdrawal symptom - I experienced the normal withdrawal symptoms during the tapering phase, and they all stopped once I had completely stopped taking the medication. However, in the two years since, the acuity of my allergies has increased at least threefold, if not more.
1390101 tn?1281000559 Wow Kraz - I am sorry that you have had to deal with the problem from Mirapex. I too have RLS and have been on Mirapex for about 2 years, but fortunately have not had a problem with gambling. I am an addict, but have been doing good with that too. Interesting though, your post made me think, there are other things that if I really look at it, I probably do in excess - and have been doing more since on Mirapex. Wonder if there is a connection there.
Avatar f tn It is great to be able to track the pain and other symptoms that I experience with my illness. This makes it much easier to keep track of what I need to talk to the doctor about since memory is also something that I have difficulties with. I am not sure how I found out about your site, but am thinking that it would be excellent if doctors would give the URL out to their patients to help track symptoms. I could use a place to track my Restless Leg Syndrome and the Mirapex that I take for it.
410281 tn?1254229064 I had been having a lot of unexplained symptoms such as tremor, muscle twitching and jerking, tingling in my extremeties and severe eye pain and facial numbness. Migraine was ruled out. Since I started on the mirapex most of my symptoms have either gone away completely or greatly diminished. Could they have been simply caused by the sleep deprivation? Thanks for your time.
749148 tn?1302860959 hands... she prescribed Mirapex. I have not started it yet and wondered if anyone out there is using this medication and what your thoughts are. She recommended a TENS unit for the rib pain I guess it's caused from a miss-firing message between my spinal cord and my brain, even though no lesions showed on my thoracic MRI doesn't mean they are not there...hummmm.
Avatar f tn Every other sleep aid made above symptoms worse. Did tapered Requip withdrawal while adding the sinemet.  Right now taking  1/2 afternoon and 1 at night.Offers little help with night RLS. None with bad waking.  Horrible to go back to where I was after those months of peaceful nights and NORMAL waking. Any help welcome.
Avatar f tn Is it possible to use tramadol to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms (mainly restless leg) from opiates? Every time I try to stop cold Turkey the leg twitches keep me awake for days. Usually by day two insomnia has taken such a tole I cant function. I can't lose my job.
487070 tn?1313665952 Secondly, I have been put on Pramoxile (sp?) Mirapex for it. Started at 1/8 mg and increased over time to now 1 mg. I hate the side effects but it seems to be working for the most part. I understand it is mainly used for Parkinson's diasease and sometimes RLS. Does anyone take this for their RLS? If so how much? Supossedly it helps increase Dopmine levels which PLMD and Parkinson disorders have in common.I'm not sure if RLS is caused by low Dopamine or not. I feel like YUCK.
Avatar m tn Hi. First off let me say that I have Gastroparesis, which I just found out I had in January. This makes my body take a lot longer to get rid of a drug. Anyway, I took abilify for an acute psychotic episode I had last fall. The doctors kept me on it for four months just as a precaution. Anyways, I tapered off of it under doctors supervision and have been off for almost two months now.
410281 tn?1254229064 PLMD, RLS and apnea. My neuro put me on mirapex immediately upon seeing the results. I actually feel like myself again. I had no idea that I was sleeping so poorly, especially after hearing about so much fatigue from my friends here. I can wake up and actually be awake!! I still shake, twitch, jerk and am quite tingly. But sleeping well sure makes it all more manageable... So for those of you with sleep disorders, or that think you might, ASK about Mirapex!
1154672 tn?1262222616 I have severe Restless leg Syndrome. I have been on Mirapex for about 6 years now, and never had a problem. I am unemployed now, and do not have any health insurance. My doctor has been great to give me samples, however; they are out of them right now. My doctor tried giving me clonazepam 1 mg 2 nights ago, I walked the floors and tossed and turned all night. I called my doctor, and she said to increase my clonazepam to 2mg before bed.
Avatar f tn I guess I'm so to new all of this that I do not understand depression. I never thought of myself as depressed but my daughter has noticed changes in my behavior over the past 3 years. She says that I used to be so outgoing, always on the move but now I'm a recluse. I tend to stick by myself - I've even isolated my family. The weird part is at work I'm still outgoing, and fun-loving. Does the real me come out at home?
Avatar m tn P.s I do have anxiety but I take medication for it.
574118 tn?1305135284 I do know that taking an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer can cause mania, also I take Mirapex (a dopamine drug) to help treat my fibro and I'm under "special watch" because the dopamine meds can cause mania even in people that aren't bipolar. My husband was taking Mirapex as well for his fibro and he had to stop because it made him feel manic, and he's not bipolar. So I can't speak for the seratonin, but the dopamine can definitely make someone manic.
Avatar n tn t know about the Monavie but what I take and is wonderful is Mirapex. I take it 3 times a day and have no restless legs unless I skip a dose or run out and then the RLS returns. I hope this has helped.
Avatar n tn I'm on .25mg of Mirapex for RLS and am gaining weight. Has anyone else experienced this. Any idea as to why. Suggestions? Thanks!
Avatar f tn s going on w/your muscles. Is it due to withdrawal, or something else like a previously existing condition? Can you tell us what the medicine is? Some muscle relaxers are highly addictive; some, not so much. But most that I know of have sleepiness/dizziness/giddiness as a side effect, and that's like catnip to addicts that are right in the middle of their own psychodrama, anxiety, and often, pain from withdrawing from their favorite DOC's. It's a welcome diversion!
398059 tn?1447945633 Because of the Mirapex and Gabapentin I can sleep at all. I still get uncomfortable though. It is pain really, except in my left arm anyway. But, the uncomfortablnes and pain in left arm is toerable. I just need more sleep than i am getting.
Avatar m tn I have tried all the other RLS drugs over the years (Requip, Mirapex, Sinamet etc.) and Ultram has been the most affective. I have slowly had to increase the dose and don't think I want to go an higher. I am asking for any advise I can get. Is there anyone out there with a similar experience? By the way I am a 62 year old male.
Avatar f tn Have you tried wrapping them in ace bandages right after you get out of the tub?? or heating pads? that does help alot.. LOL---I have laughed everytime i see that commerical... Oh--i was reading on another forum...And someone was having RLS very bad even 1 month clean from opiates...SO her doctor told her to go get a deep tissue massage, but only on her legs muscles....Then go home and soak in eptson salt for 45 minutes to flush the toxins it will bring up to the skin from the massage....
Avatar f tn I loose a lot of sleep. I get in day and night. My arms even jerk and have that restless feeling. Mirapex is taken twice a day and don't help. No drs will address it and I'm miserable . Is this a lack of a vitamin or mineral. Do I ever get rid of them?
Avatar f tn it wont postpone your withdrawals just use it sparingly it highly addictive my phyic dr gave it to me earlly on im bipolar and she was afraid the lack of sleep would send me into a manic episode........
