how does mirapex work

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.

I no long have the urge to gamble. ,Now I am on simumet for my RLS and it does not work like the mirapex , I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go to sleep.

Hello everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with PLMD (periodic limb movement disorder). My understanding is most have during the night while sleeping. (it is not Restless leg Syndrome) Well, mine happens all day long. According to my Nuerologist studies have shown that it can happen during the day as well but they group into one PLMD.

First, let me say how glad I am to have come across this site. 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.

There was a study done on pain neurotransmitters by a doctor in my area who researches specifically Fibromyalgia. 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.

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.

) I saw a rheumatologist who hinted that I had fibro, in part by referring me to a book by some doctor whose work he liked. This doctor/writer believes Mirapex is a big part of the solution to fibro, if I remember correctly. Of course now I can't remember the details or the doctor's name. Glad it's working for you!

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.

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.

would be nice if it were that simple, also would be very pissed when i think of what it would have stolen from me. Will keep you posted on how i do without the Mirapex.

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.

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.

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

However, when thinking of the future, I will have to admit I am more frightened of RLS which I have had since I was seven. I am taking Mirapex for relief of this torturous malady, but now I am afraid of the drug. I take .25mg four times a day. I have had episodes of going to sleep and dropping whatever it is I have in my hands. As of today, I am trying to cut down and take half a dose in the morning and at noon. The drug has made my life bearable.

But as you know what might work great for one patient might not work great for another. But maybe worth a try.

Hey does anyone know which works better the Hyland restful legs pills or the Hyland leg cramps pills? Did this stuff make a difference for any of you?

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?

There are some things that only the Gabbapentin seems to work on though. Although, without Mirapex makes a big difference.

Actually my husband does take ADs (Paxil) but that doesn't make him manic, it was the Mirapex that made him manic, which is not an AD but is rather being used off label to treat fibromyalgia. The ADs themselves don't make him manic. Hope that clarifies things a little bit more!

They are suppose to strip my membranes how does that work? Does it hurt.
