Well, I can tell you even if it is close to Effexor it sure didn't help me. Effexor that is. It made my symptoms worse. Especially the RLS portion of them...
However, I'd love to find something right about now that would work a bit better than what I'm doing ATM. Which is not sleeping cause it's one of "those" nights. Had to get up and take a Mirapex and another half a Tramadol. I should be able to sleep in about 30 minutes unless of course the Mirapex and Tramadol decide to fight it out which means I won't sleep tonight no matter what I do. Whoo hoo considering I have to get up in about 4 hours. Ain't life grand?
