Maybe you weren't on it long enough for withdrawal? I read that the more you take and the longer you take it, the worse the withdrawal problem. I think I was reading on this board of someone (Quintal?) having a bad withdrawal from Mirapex. Or maybe not everyone gets the withdrawal. I will have to do some more research.
Thanks for adding your RLS history. That was very helpful. I have been doing a lot of reading on the topic about treatment for this issue. (Yes, RLS.org is a great resource.) I would love it if the medication worked on my depression as well (without nausea). What a bonus that would be!
Currently I'm taking Xanax every third night. I'm not dependent on it at this point but I have still needed to up the dosage for benefit. This makes me believe that a benzo probably wouldn't be the way to go for me. Also, clonazepam doesn't agree with me. Makes me too groggy and depressed.
The opiates and tramadol will be last choice. At this point, though, anything that will allow me to sleep sounds good. My doctor's appointment is tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some relief soon.
Do you take anything besides the clonazepam?
