Has anyone tried Pramipexole (Mirapex, Mirapexin, Sifrol) for chronic pain? I have had low back pain for about 15 years now. I finally got someone to do an MRI back in June (I think, it was slightly before summer 2016) and they found a herniated disc at L4-L5 and a degenerated disc at L5-S1. The neurosurgeon decided surgery wasn't worth the risk and pain treatment was the best option.
m going to have to go through my supplements and meds. The only new med is the Pramipexole .05 twice a day (Mirapex). The supplements are Sam-E, D 2000, A and Magnesium 250 twice a day. I'm going to cut the Pramipexole to once a day. Does anyone see if any one of these would cause this or is there a virus going around?
Has anyone used a patch? The only med I take is pramipexole.
My husband is taking clonazepam .05, Lomtrigine 200 mg and pramipexole dihydrochloride 0.25 for depression, anxiety and RLS. He hasn't been able to get out of bed lately and has missed a lot of work. Could this excessive sleepiness be due to the combination of these drugs? It is not that he doesn't want to get out of bed, it's almost as if he is drugged, which led to my question. This is not normal.
Well I'm super proud of your taper....and I'll be rooting for you and praying for you since you started your new journey to freedom today.
Congrats on Day 1 with nothing girl!!!......
I have suffered from a form of restless leg for over 20 years, when my brain wants to relax especially at bed time, my leg muscles in top & bottom start to go into spasm, causing my legs to kick out. Its so sever that if prevents me from falling asleep. I am on tablets called Ropinerol they work to a point but the older I get the worse the spasms get.
The first symptoms I noticed were fatigue, no libido, chronic insomnia, ED and testicular shrinkage. Then I started having constant sharp pain, burning, stinging in both my feet, calfs, knee (mostly right leg). I started noticing peeing and bowel movement was becoming difficult (trouble starting, frequency). Then started having testicular pain and sharp pain in the rectum (Urologist diagnosed rectum pain as pelvic floor problem and physical therapy has been helping the rectum pain only).
I desperately need sleep because I have been plagued by this horrible infliction for the past 2 months now. It can keep me awake most of the night & sleep only comes early morning when this funny horrible sensation subides.
My doctor has offered me tablets called Pramipexole/Mirapexin but I understand they are a brain blocker & I only take them when I am absolutely desperate.
I'm a 68 year old male who has had four major neck surgery and last year open heart surgery. I've had chronic pain for the past 10 years and have taken heavy duty medication (morphine and fentalyn) over that period of time. I have gone to a pain specialist and he has helped me to reduce my pain level and has gotten me down on a low dose of methadone. My question is: does long term use of narcotics affect one's libido on a permanent basis.
If you go that route just be aware that magnesium can also be used as a tx for constipation – so you might find yourself in the bathroom a little more. For me that effect was very minor and nowhere near as much a problem as the being kept awake by jerking around all night.
I've recently read that RLS is more common in those with HCV than in the rest of the population, so its not just caused by the drugs, although it was for me. Good luck!
For the longest time I had no libido and was not waking up with morning erections. I even went weeks or months without masturbating, which was unusual since I did not miss a day for many years. What worked for me was exotic juices with acai and the like, then my libido and frequent erections came back. So, good nutrition can help a great deal.
m using (Pramipexole) but I suffer a dizziness side effect. I need your help to use a medicine which have not such side effect. Thanks in advance.
we have been ttc for 5 years the problem is him not me..i find that i really don't want or care for sex anymore. i have always had trouble with arousal and orgasm but it think i am jaded maybe because we haven't achieved the pregnancy goal. i find myself in tears and just wanting him to get off of me in the middle of intercourse, this has really become an issue and i don't know what to do..
Sometimes I get wet but gets dry along the way. My hubby has been patient as we could go off sex for months. But its freaking me out. Lest I forget, I was circumcised as a child. Is there any help for me? I really want to enjoy sex with my husband.
Dopamine agonists such as ropinirole, pramipexole, carbidopa/levodopa or pergolide are used and you have to monitor these drugs.
There are some issues with the use of dopamine agonists. There are conditions where the drug itself causes symptoms to increase in severity and/or occur earlier in the day. Monitoring the adverse effects of the drug and titrating a proper dosage is important for your daughter.
Take care!
1) Ginseng
It was first discovered by the Chinese and has been used as a libido enhancers for thousands of years. Ginseng is one of the bestselling herbs in the United States. In much of Asia, ginseng is prized as a revitalizer for the whole body, partly due to the human-like shape of the root.
2) L- Arginine:
This is not a herb but an amino acid and it helps increase the production of nitric oxide which helps you achieve rock hard or firmer erections.
If your PSA is normal, one option you have here is to go on Testosterone Replacement Therapy. It will improve your libido and reduce erectile dysfunction. Exercise and lifestyle are also important of course.

I am pretty sure this is neurological. First, I have had restless legs syndrome since I was little. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I am 45 now. I can get it just in my legs or whole body. It isn't pain, just creepy crawly and I take meds. For awhile now, maybe over a period of 10 years, I have noticed that I am super hypersensitive to touch, especially my legs which can cause them to start "acting up".
