Restless Legs Syndrome
"I&#039;m writing from the UK!  The main difference is that all our medication is free for over 65s and some others.  I&#039;ve been on Co-coda of (apologies, iPad won&#039;t let me spell this correctly), Tramadol and Gabapentin.  My restlessness has been getting worse and worse for years and a couple of weeks ago I kicked a hole in my bed sheet during the night.  So, a few days ago, I saw my GP and he stopped the Tramadol (I&#039;d been tolerating it well) and last night I took my first Mirapex.  Oh what a horrible experience!  I felt dreadfully ill during the night and when I got up this morning I felt as if I had flu.  I was dizzy, sneezy and in a cold sweat.  Now I&#039;m not sure whether to continue - maybe the side effects will settle."
