For Restless Legs Syndrome "At first was a godsend. 20 years later, whole-body dystonia, haven't slept in 5 nights. I thought this was the best, and now I believe it will kill me. Not being dramatic. I am getting old, and my body is giving out trying to handle getting off this drug. I worked in the addiction industry and never saw this much suffering and pain."

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 "This drug ruined my life. I augmented, now have dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome (DAWS). It was great while it lasted, but not worth what may be a miserable existence for the rest of my life. I feel preyed upon by the drug company. This is no miracle. It's a curse. If you haven't started, don't. Why? Akathisia all the time in my feet. Ankles and feet always hurt and swollen. Can't sleep. Leg pain whenever I sit. I still have RLS. I've been told I'm lying by doctors who don't know all this stuff. I'm so angry. This drug stole all the enjoyment out of my life."
