My neuro gave me mirapex for restless legs last spring and it cleared up the problem in about 3 nights. Of course, 2 years ago when I was suffering mightily from restless legs syndrome (the first time), my then-neuro gave me premax and that too cleared it up for a while. Maybe it is only the newness that does the work, not the meds (LOL). Seriously, I have found that taking the mirapex atf bedtime has been very helpful in this arena.
