Pramipexole Forums (Page 2)

I have RLS and have been on mirapex for 7 years. I tried other meds, but this really works. Up until my pharmacy changed where they buy pills from. The white ones were what I was taking and had no side effects. Now they are blue or pale pink. When I take them I get very sick, headache, throwing up and nausea. My pharmacy will not order white ones for me. How can I find out name of where I can get white ones ? PLEASE Help Me. Thanks Brenda ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you tried other pharmacies in your area? They may carry the others, or be willing to order them in for you. Can you ask your current pharmacy the name of the manufacture of the white ones, so you know which you're looking for?
