Can Pramipexole 0.25 Mg Cause Headache?
I am taking (just started last week) Pramipexole 0.25 mg before bedtime. It works extremely well for my RLS. I have been having headaches the last few days which are rare for me. Could it be from this med or simply coincidental. I also take Cymbalta 60 mg daily (mornings) as well as thyroid Extroxin. email is YYYY@YYYY
