Don’t take Mirapex or Requip….trust me….look up side effects! When I had side effects, my current doctor at the time didn’t believe me and told me it was not the meds! I went to get a second opinion and doctor immediately started taking me off the Mirapex….my side effects improved quickly! I was off meds in about a month and by the end of the second month I was off meds a month and side effects were completely gone ! But…..I needed a new RLS medicine and so I was on pain meds until the doctor could figure out what he should try me on, since I had already taken all the RLS at one time or another! It’s crazy but now I’m taking Tramadol of all things! And two more meds for RLS! I have it severely and I have it all over my body except my head! And guess what ? I still have some RLS! The meds I have to take nightly (every single night) and they help some or I would have RLS probably all the time!!! Mine is genetic! And it’s so severe at times, I look like I’m have a seizure! It embarrasses my husband especially when we are in the car. Which flavor of pickles do you take? Sweet? Sour? Hamburger pickles? I’d try this! Believe me I would try most things….anyone try Acupuncture? If so did it help?
