How it works
RLS is associated with dopaminergic dysfunction in the basal ganglia. Pramipexole activates D2/D3 dopamine receptors, restoring normal sensorimotor inhibition.
Augmentation (symptom worsening with earlier onset) is a significant long-term side effect. Other side effects: nausea, sudden sleep attacks, impulse control disorders. Iron levels should be checked before starting.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
