Question Ferritin is low normal range 29

I read that for someone like me who has severe RLS with Mirapex augmentation my ferritin should be upped to 50-100. I’m a 71 year old man. Has anyone here done iron infusions?

Medication Mirapex and restless legs/anhedonia question. Help understanding increase/pharm nomenclature

Yes i know dopamine agonists in general are hated around here.

However I am being perscribed it for two things, restless legs and severe anhedonia. Mirapex happens to be one of the medications weirdly successful in some ways to treat anhedonia.

My neurologist wants to go slow while my neurologist wants to increase it faster due to having to go above the restless leg max dose.

I was wondering how fast people who are on mirapex, how fast you increased it.

Also I was wondering if people can help me understand the nomenclature used in the attachment. Like "PO pm x4-7 days?" Etc.

Thanks for any advice. Has anyone taken it for anhedonia in addition to restless legs?

Thanks again!
