Pramipexole

pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate (0,125mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
After 3 years of taking 1 tablet a day, I've noticed that my body has become addicted to this: when I have severe pain my muscles and a general feeling of being unwell, I take 2 tables and the symptoms disappear. I have tried to reduce the dose on more than one occasion (first 3/4 per day for a week, then 1/2, and so on...) But it didn't work and the symptoms that I had before starting this com...

Pramipexole

pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate (0,125mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
After having first used Ropinorol, which made me ill and nauseous. Been on Pramipexole since January. There are no side effects apart from extreme tiredness when it starts working. That's usually about 2 hours after I've taken it but as far as I'm concerned that's not so good as you have to wait so long for it to start working. The attacks have been happening earlier and earlier since I've been...

ropinirole hydrochloride (0,5mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
I got Ropinirol from the GP and now after about 1 year I need to go up from 0.50 mg to 2 mg a day but I am just sleeping so much it's no longer fun.

Rivotril

clonazepam (2,5mg/ml) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
I was prescribed this drug because after having a CPAP investigation for sleep apnoea it was discovered that I had restless legs. I must say that it's rather pleasant to have less muscle tension during the day because I usually limp and suffer severe cramps which would normally class me as a fibromyalgia patient. I can't say it's really done anything for my restless legs (if anything it's actua...

Pramipexole

pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate (0,088) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
Neurologist advised taking 2 tablets every evening. But I stopped this pretty quickly because I was retaining so much fluid and it made me fall asleep. So now I only take it when I notice that my legs are becoming restless. Sometimes one is enough, sometimes I need to take more. Depends on how bad the attack. is. Sometimes it affects my whole body.

clonazepam (2,5mg/ml) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)
I waited years before taking Rivotril. Now I'm really happy and annoyed with myself that I didn't start sooner!
