What Is The Right Dosage Of Pramipexole 0.25mg?

Hello Doctor, I have been diagnosed with mild Periodic limb movement disorder (56 movements per hour) and am taking 0.25mg of Pramipexole. Do you think this is a sufficient dose? It seems to be helping but I wonder if a higher dose would work better?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.The initial dosage of pramipexole for Restless leg syndrome is 0.125 which can be titrated to higher dosage till a maintanence dose of 0.5mg once a day.Usual increments is 0.125mg every 4 to 7 days till attains 0.5.The dosage is adjusted according to individual response.If it is working fair then you can continue with this dose.But if still you don't have the desired effect then higher dosage will benefit you.You can approach your treating doctor for this.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
