For Restless Legs Syndrome "I only suffer from RLS at night. I took carbidopa-levodopa for about 1 year, and then it was no longer enough. My doctor told me to try Requip. I took one pill and had the worst headache ever, even the next morning, and my jaw and teeth hurt horribly. I read reviews on Mirapex and asked my doctor if I could try it. I've been on it for 3 months with no side effects and can rest all night with zero movement. Before, my husband said I would run all night in bed. Mirapex is a wonderful drug for RLS. I'm so thankful I discovered it!"

For Restless Legs Syndrome "I was taking Clonazepam, then my doc suggested Pramipexole, as it is non-habit forming. It certainly took care of my restless legs, but I woke up with headaches and went to sleep with headaches. Indigestion was also a side effect, so much so that I was constantly very bloated and did not feel well for the month I took Pramipexole. The positives were that my RSL was non-existent, and I did not feel tired in the a.m. As a matter of fact, I was able to get up 2 hours earlier every day. Don't know why that happened, but it was nice to not feel so sleepy in the morning. Now I'm back on Clonazepam, and I'm not sure if I'm that happy with it this time around. Is there anything else to try?"

For Parkinson's Disease "I tried it for one day, and the side effects made me bedridden for almost 2 days. I felt so nauseous and extremely drowsy. Had a headache and then felt weak. I can't take this again."
