Pramipexole (3mg) for chronic depression

After trying all the traditional antidepressants to no avail, finally I have found a medication that works well, without many negative side effects. Unfortunately not so well known among the psychiatrists. Often prescribed for Parkinsons.

Pramipexole (0,375mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

used pramipexole for years but it's been less and less effective over the past two years, symptoms are become more frequent. Mostly in the evenings, loads of difficulty with RLS. On top of that I am sleeping really badly at night, if at all. I'm going back to my doctor to ask for something else.

Pramipexole (0,088) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

Neurologist recommended I take two tablets every evening. I stopped doing this PDQ because I was retaining a lot of fluid and it made me really sleepy. Now I only take it when the attack begins. Sometimes one is enough, but sometimes I need more. Depends on the severity of the attack. Sometimes I get it across my whole body.

Pramipexole (0,25mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

Pramipexole (0,88) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

After taking the tablets my legs get very restless and it takes a while to calm down again. Ropinirol gives me better results but has sleeping problems as side effects.

Pramipexole (0,125mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

The pharmacist said that, because it was costing the health insurers too much money to pay for branded Sofril, it is being replaced with a so-called generic variant. The result was that not only did I have restless legs which prevented me sleeping but I also couldn't sleep because of the itchiness of the skin rash. Needed an extra visit to the doctor just to be told that you get what you pay fo...

Pramipexole (0,088mg) for restless legs syndrome (RLS)

This medicine works quicker. I don't have to eat anything before I take it, unlike with ropinirol. Now and then am a little queasy and sick but it's minimal.
