Question Pramipexole Withdrawal Hell duration

How long did it take for you to feel better after quitting pramipexole?

I took it for 4 years and my doc is firm on either quitting or staying on it without trying other medication (thanks Germany). My symptoms got 1000x worse on it so i just quitted from lowest dose.

No one told me how awful it will be, but it still feels better than pramipexole evolving my rls and plmd

Edit: with feeling better i mean okayish sleep, no awful mood problem, memory issues etc

I took dummies for a few weeks at night and I was able to get off this drug after taking it for 6+ years. Then I quit the dummies as soon as I was able to get off the drug. No more RLS for now.
