2nd mirapex trial

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!

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.

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.

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.

The doctor put me on mirapex. She told me it would make me very sleepy and help to control the jerking and twitching at night to allow me to get better sleep. I spent most of my sleep time in phase 2 sleep with very little time in REM. My question is about the mirapex. Have any of you ever had issues falling asleep while on the mirapex? I find that once I do get to sleep it helps me stay asleep better.

I can't be sure, of course, but it sounds like you are pretty acceptable to them, dependent on the last couple of screening items. I'm unfamiliar with the idea of 'second week dosing' but I'm sure they'll tell you if you ask.

s why I take Mirapex -- the doctors also discovered that I never reach the 2nd stage of sleep where your body actually gets the rest it needs. So, an hour before I go to bed I take 1.5mg of Mirapex and 2mg of Clonazapam (actually I take 1 mg around 5pm and then another around 8pm) -- All prescriptions have been prescribed to me by my neurologist who specializes in ADD. Should I schedule an appointment with a Psychiatrist?

I think the one you are thinking about is called Hylands and it is a supplement.

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.

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.

I'm on .25mg of Mirapex for RLS and am gaining weight. Has anyone else experienced this. Any idea as to why. Suggestions? Thanks!

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We would also love it if doctors would give out MedHelp's URL to their patients to help track symptoms. Then their patients could just click Email This on their trackers and send it to their doctors for review. We could easily add Restless Legs as a symptom and Mirapex as a treatment to the Sleep Tracker. Would that work for you?

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.

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?

I have RLS and take Mirapex, .25mg about an hour before bed. It has worked great for me. I tried the Gabapentin and got up to 1200 mg - which was also taken before bed, but it did nothing for me. I have been told that Mirapex works much better than Ropinerol - you may want to talk to your doc about Mirapex as an option - it just went generic.

But waht i wanted to comment was something i read here from a poster about some meds for RLS... mirapex and requip... it seems they increase the dopamine levels with some side effects not to get overlooked by someone with addiction issues... The poster shared her experience with mirapex of getting addicted to gambling. It can happen. She even left a link of a documental made in Canada about this terrible effect of mirapex.

this was the 3rd trial ive screened for...1st time VL was 7k, 2nd time 2 k, this time 2 k...have had this monster 25 yrs...guess ill wait for Tel or Boc...

He uses Mirapex to block or work with the Dopamine transmitters. His name is Dr. Wood out of Renton Washington. You might look for the publication on pubnet. It might answer your question fully.

Hello doctor and thanks for your time here, Do you know anything about the 2nd study within the Telaprevir phase 3 trial. This 2nd study will enroll around 400-500 participants starting around Sept. The only info I have is from a press release this past January, it says that it will evaluate with 48 weeks of tx. I received a call from my docs office and the nurse said they will be doing the 2nd study.

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.

s a few in bms trial feel great. I think Mary4now might be in your trial., Good luck to you. and if it gets worse there are things to aid you.

I just started a trial of TMC - 435 Phase III. I have a 2/3 chance of being on the drug, and a 1/3 of getting placebo. Even the control group gets standard Interferon and Ribavirin. So far, no side effects. Should I expect this to get worse? I may have some very minor side effects but nothing noticeable. As for me, my viral load was measured at 10.

My mom is currently in a clinical trial at Duke University for Avastin. It is a Phase III trial - so it is the final trial for the drug. I've seen several posts talking about the terrible side effects of Avastin. Can anyone fill me in on these? I've read all the data and have spoken to the people at Duke in charge of the trial and so far, I've not seen anything that is really terrible.

No question here, hell how could I top jackie mason and his HepC transmission by tire story? I started my Boceprevir trial today, got 3 Riba and my first shot. No sx's so far, but you never know, it was just around 3:00 or 2 hours ago. Maybe it will be a smile now, cry later reaction. lol Anyways, I just wanted to let all my friends know that I took the plunge, I better get to drinking some water, just to be safe.

My doc approved taking 2 vs 1 when he realized how severe my symptoms get and I told him that with trial and error by taking 1..waiting...and having to take a 2nd one before I settled down (along with breathing in a paper bag) worked better. I went over-board for awhile on them - taking them at every twitch, wanting to avoid a full on panick attack - but realized that was no good; now I am thankfully at 2 a day, sometimes have even gone without them (not often, but it's encouraging).
