After suffering incredible pain and sleepless nights for years, I found a Dr. at a sleep clinic who prescribed Mirapex approx ten years ago. It is a miracle drug for my RLS. The generic never worked for me. Mirapex is the most important prescription I take for a better quality of life. I have no idea what Iâ??m going to do!

I developed RLS about 6 months ago. After 4 sleepless nights in a row- I was desperate. I tried home remedies, hot baths, different sleeping positions, walking my neighbor hood in the middle of the night- nothing worked. I even tried meditation and crazy YouTube suggestions/ I called my dr and he immediately put me on this medication- I was so scared to take it- but after sleeping within an hour after my first dose, I now have no fears- just gratitude that itâ??s affordable, effective and, in my case, career saving- anyone on here reading knows the horror of multiple sleepless nights, pacing, crying and and frustration. If thatâ??s you- I urge you to give this a try- I slept 8 solid hrs my second dose. Caution!!! It makes me drowsy. As hell and it hits out of nowhere so be in for the evening when you take it ð?¤?

When Requip came ut, my doctor asked if I wanted to try it and I agreed. After four days of RLS keeping me up except for catnaps, my doctor put me back on Mirapex and again I was able to sleep at night. This about 15 years ago and I am still on it. The only drawback is that catnaps during the day are out as the dose I take only seems to last about 12 hours.

I have been taking Mirapex for several years now for RLS, works great for me. My question is: Has anyone taking this medication experienced hair loss?
