    I use Mirapex. Always bear in mind different people may react differently to medication. I have been on Mirapex for a few years and have not had side effects. In my case it works VERY well for RLS. Other things that work are a warm (I like hot) bath when it feels severe and a leg massage.

    May people suffer from RLS. Your on the right track with Mirapex. Check with your doctor, monitor liver and good luck. Your not alone!

    Side effects:

    Some of the more common side effects of pramipexole (Mirapex) include:

    "Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)
    Drowsiness
    Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there)
    Weight loss
    Nausea
    Trouble in sleeping
    Twitching, twisting, or other unusual body movements
    Unusual tiredness or weakness
    Several unusual adverse effects of this medication may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating. These side effects may be linked to the D3 receptor agonist activity of pramipexole. D3 receptors are located in brain regions involved in mood, behavior, and rewards"
