Advice & Tips
I was taking Sifrol three times daily , did not seem to do to my satifaction. Alo i used to forget to take the midday tab. I get hallucinations occasionally, I know they are not real so that does not trouble me. My legs swell, I take Urex which does help a little. I am now taking Sifrol ER. (extended release)1.5mg this seems to be working out now . I still have hallucinations, at night. Sowllen legs in theda time. I am able to put up with these as the other benefits of no more restless legs, less cramps..

Advice & Tips
If you are taking Mirapex, be mindful that it is known to cause obsessive - compulsive behaviors ... I put on a ton of weight and attribute that to Mirapex. I'm weary of carrying the excess poundage and having the commensurate fatigue, so have joined Weight Watchers and begun a walking/biking regimen and am trying to switch the OCD from food to exercise. So far (the first week,) so good!

For me Mirapex has stopped most of the flareups I was having five days a week. I still get fibro fog but it seems minor compared to the pain. In the winter I will have a minor flare up due to the changing weather patterns.
