Re: RLS/Pergolide Side Effects

Permax (pergolide) has been associated with nausea, rhinitis,

constipation, abdominal pain, postural hypotension, peripheral edema,

and hallucinations. There are many other reported side effects, but they

occur at the same rate as placebo ingestion. Some people get none of the

above, while some get many of them.

Thank you for your reply. If hallucinations occur can this be controlled

by decreasing the dosage or should permax be stopped all together.
