Permax (pergolide)

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

I've been taking Permax for about a month now, At first it did nothing but

give me a headache and wake me up almost every hour on the hour, but I was

determined to give it a chance. That was with two .05 mg around 9:00 in

the evening only, then it was increased to one around 4:00 in the

afternoon, Not much difference. Now I'm taking same, plus one in the

morning around 10:00 AM. I can sleep better now without taking anything to

help me. I still wake up once through the night, but I don't get up. I'm

averaging 6 to 7 hours a night, so I'm not complaining about that at all.

Also, I've noticed that I don't have to move as much, but it seems like the

aches are now in my ankles, but stationary, (in other words, I don't have

to move them, the creeping vibration isn't there, but the ache is still

deep inside, also on the upper outside of my right calf ). Maybe that's

why I was always rubbing my feet together, and pointing my toes out, trying

to crack the bones in my ankles. I wasn't even aware that my ankles were

involved until the ache became stationary. My Thumper arrived, and it's

wonderful feeling, mostly on my neck and shoulders, but it also feels good

on my legs, but even that doesn't reach the deep aches. It definitely

helps, and I roll it around on my legs until the ache is gone, especially

where the aches seem to be stationary. Even the Thumper can't beat on them

as hard as I would like. (I need a hammer). I keep it plugged in and

sitting right by my bed so I can use it any time, and I am very pleased

with it. On sore muscles, it is heavenly, hurts soooooo good.

Tomorrow I will be increasing my Permax by adding another .05 mg to the

4:00 dose, hoping that will eliminate the aches that are still there. If

not, I can increase it after 5 days by adding another .05 to the morning

dose. That will be the limit. I'm optimistic about it. Today I laid on

my bed with Pooh Bear (my doggie) and READ, believe it or not, I was

relaxed, and after awhile I feel asleep. I'll let you know later if the

aches go away. Pray for me.
