I take 0.5MG pramipexole (prescribed) for my RLS
and it does enable me to get a good night's sleep.
Pramipexole is not a sleeping pill, but helps with
the misery of RLS.

What does your physician say about the augmentation issue with the dopamine agonists?
I was on ropirinole (Requip). After 3 great years, symptoms worsened and spread, despite changes in dose. I consulted a renowned expert who diagnosed augmentation and recommended that we stop the med. They no longer prescribe this class of meds as they claim sometimes augmentation does not go away.

Symptoms improved to pre diagnosis baseline, but still severe.
Be careful and good luck.
