Afternoon sinking spells of overwhelming fatique & stimulate use for RLS


Posted by Alea on August 14, 1999 at 20:28:33:

I have been taking miraplex for RLS for about 9 months. It was like a miracle for the first three months and then it seemed to stop working. I have been getting afternoon spells of extreme sleepness and weakness every afternoon. I can't opeate a car when I'm like that. Is anyone else having these symptoms who is on miraplex. Also does anyone know of any stimulant that can be taken to relieve lack of energy and mental confusion during the day. I am taking a small dose of ma huang and it helps. Is there anything that the doctor can prescribe.
