I have restless legs and have been prescribed Mirapex. They recently increased from .5 mg in morning and 1 mg at bedtime. I have started having problems with my knees and they both hurt all the time. It is hard to sit down because of the pull on my knees. When i called back the dr. increased the medicine to 1 mg tablet in morning and 2 mg tablets at bedtime That medicine schedule does not always work for me. This morning I took .5 mg tablet at 5:30AM. By 10:00AM, my legs were twitching and I had trouble sitting still. I also have some side effects too. My knees are painful and it hurts to walk long distances as well as just sitting down in ti a chair
