Man, there are some stupid ‘conditions’ out there, and I think RLS takes the cake. RLS is defined as such:

“Restless legs syndrome is a condition that is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one’s legs (occasionally arms or torso).“

I guess people aren’t allowed to be uncomfortable anymore or fidget. What are we going to treat next with medicine, excessive blinking? This is where Mirapex comes in, to solve RLS with medication you don’t need!

Now it is one thing to be suckered into getting medicine for this, when you’re probably just moving your legs because you’re nervous, deep in though, etc. It’s a completely different thing to accept all its side effects.

• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up
• Drowsiness
• Hallucinations
• Weight gain
• Weight loss
• Nausea
• Trouble in sleeping
• Twitching, twisting, or other unusual body movements
• Unusual tiredness or weakness
• Several unusual adverse effects of this medication may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating.

Please tell me how ANY of these adverse effects taken directly off of wiki, are worse than dealing with your legs moving around? Yes, I’d much rather have an extremely elevated sex drive, want to waste my money gambling, hallucinate, be drowsy and feel sick all at the same time. Maybe then my fantasy of gambling while halucinating that the chips are singing at me while vomiting at the same time!

This is just pathetic, guess the drug companies need to make more money off of suckers.
