Guest guest Posted October 31, 1998 Report Share Posted October 31, 1998 Hey Gang, As you know, when I joined about 2 months ago... I was having terrible problems w/ rebound and augmentation from all the Sinemet I was taking. ( 3 x 25/100 during the day, 1 x 50/200 at night). I decided to stop taking the sinemet and the trazedone (150mg/bedtime ). Well, I had 2 good nights sleep and then went back to terrible PLMD and RLS. After 2 weeks of taking nothing (including melatonin), I started taking minimal sinemet, and only as needed before bed. Still not great sleep, but better than before. Next, I went and got free samples of Mirapex and Permax. I got the permax first, and found it helped, but gave me nasal stuffiness and weird 'brain waves' type of feelings. I got the mirapex yesterday, and have'nt tried it yet. So far, this has been my best weeks sleep in over a year! And even though I have RLS/PLMD during the day, my nights have been much better since I got rid of my tolerance to the drugs, and then only took the minimal dosages as needed. Last night, again, I took half a sinemet 25/100 2 hours before bed, and half a permax .25gm along w/ 150mg trazedone and 3mg melatonin a half hour before bed. It's been working great for me going on 7 days now. I've gotten at least 5 hours of sleep a night, and have had dreams too! It's been far too long!
