Hi Betty & Linda,
I tried Mirapex a few years back and, like you said, it gave me insomnia. Isn't it strange to prescribe medication that causes insomnia for a condition that keeps you up at night??!!
Since I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea, I have found that using the cpap machine also helps my RLS, although, I'm not sure what one has to do with the other. Have either of you been diagnosed with sleep apnea?
When I take a long plane trip, I usually take Klonopin before I leave and it calms my legs. I haven't tried the cherries, yet.
I plan to do more research and write a follow up article about alternative remedies for RLS. Your comments are a great help. Thanks.
