Mirapex (pramipexole) for Restless Legs Syndrome: Mirapex has worked like a miracle for me. I can go on long trips again without constant leg "stretching/wiggling/massaging/exercising/deep-knee-bending" to take away the terrible sensations in my legs!
I also do not "twitch" and "kick" in bed, like I used too.

Mirapex (pramipexole) for Restless Legs Syndrome: Mirapex is a godsend. Before Mirapex, sleep was non-existant unless I took a sleeping pill. Now I get peaceful nights sleep. The only drawback is, it's expensive and insurance barely covers any of the cost. But I can't live without it.

Mirapex (pramipexole) for Restless Legs Syndrome: I have been using Mirapex for several years for severe RLS, and it is a Godsend. The only problem that I have is that after about a year to 18 months, I work up a resistance to it, and have to get off it for several weeks. During this time period, I am completely miserable. I have tried every drug on the market, even Requip, and they have no effect on the RLS. Mirapex is the only one that works for me.

Mirapex (pramipexole) for Restless Legs Syndrome: In the past, I took Mirapex for moderate-to-severe Restless Legs Syndrome. It was 100% effective in eliminating all symptoms. I had no side-effects. I currently take REQUIP which is also 100% effective. I switched to Requip to take a drug holiday from Mirapex, upon the recommendation of my neurologist.
