My fav is Mirapex. After a sleep study, I have apnea and RLS, I was wondering why my legs were “tired” after sleeping. Well my MD gave me a sample pack of Mirapex to try to see if my legs feel better. At about day 7, kept get am headaches and told my husband I didn’t think it was working on my legs anyway and was going to tell MD so I could stop taking it. I looked at the product insert and it listed nausea, headache, tiredness and some other side effects.

My husband looked at me and said ” I think you should take it”. Nice.
