Have you tried requip/ropineral(sp)? I have been on it for about 3 yrs and have no side-effects or restless limbs. There have been a few nights that I have missed a dose and sure enough my RLS was back. My neurologist thinks that if I get my iron levels up, that I can get rid of the requip. Haven't had a chance to see what iron supplement I can take that won't interfere with my other meds. You might also want to try cogentin. I was originally on that to counter a side effect of abilify, but it helped a bit with the restless limbs. Ask your dr about those two meds and see if they will be covered on your insurance plan. I pay $0.50 for my requip a month, but that is with medicaid. Still I believe it is a cheaper drug than the mirapex. I hope you are able to find some relief soon.
