I have had restless legs for about 30 years, so far this medication is helping my legs, I had taken it several years ago, had to change due to head and hand shaking. But it is the only medication left that is helping the legs, so far the shaking is not to bad. I also take premidone for the shaking, which helps.

Before taking medication , I could lay awake 2 to 7 hours a night and maybe get 1 to 2 hours of sleep every night I hated to go to bed . Now after one month on the medication I easily sleep 6 hours to 8 per night . Only pill an hour before bed , and it has been life changing .

I take one in the morning and 2 at night about 30 min before I go to bed because it does make me sleepy. I would love to find out how to cure this problem but until then this medication is my life line.

I have used Mirapex for a couple of years now and can not believe the difference!! If I miss a dose I feel like crawling the walls again!! I take one pill, .25 mg, in mid afternoon and one in late evening. My doctor changed me to Requip because it is available in generic and is less expensive but it is nowhere near as effective, I have to take one pill, .5, early afternoon one early evening and ...

Honestly I hate it. I am going back to the Mirapex as soon as it is gone!!
