LadyLanka said it all. It isn't easy to make the switch for everyone. I have RLS very severely, and am very careful to keep my Mirapex dose as low as I can tolerate the restless legs. Miraper is well known for causing obsessive/compulsive behaivior and many believe the the cure is worse than than the RLS. I personnaly have attempted to make the switch from Mirapex to Requip. My doctor insists I must be off the Mirapex before trying Requip and I have tried and just can't do it. The RLS is severe 24/7 and is unbearable.

Thanks LadyLanka for your sound advice. If you can offer a way to make the switch without the discomfort of going off Mirapex completely, I would sure appreciate it if you would PM me and tell me how you did it.
