Hello!
I was just recently diagnosed with Periodic Limb Movement Disorder(PLMD)- it is a disorder when you constantly move your legs while sleeping and having no memory of it in the morning as you where sleeping(or were you really?). Before i went to sleep study, i put up an infrared camera beside my bed before going to bed, and what i discovered was shocking- it seemed like i don't sleep at all, i constantly move my legs and change my position while a sleep. If i fast forward in 1 minute intervals, i can see there are virtually no 2 minutes where i stay in the same position or don't move or twitch my legs/feet.
Maybe it's the sleep deprivation causing me this everlasting depression? When on Nardil i tried Mirapex(pramipexole), which is for this indication, but all it did was lower my blood-pressure so that i fell on the floor many times(usally after standing up). Maybe it just doesn't work with Nardil?
When i started Lyrica(without being on Nardil) i felt cured(no depression) for few days in the beginning and i wondered, if it had it's effect in the morning, it must be the sleep, i wake up feeling actually good. Now i see it is prescribed for RLS(similar to PLMD), only i don't know why it repaired me for so short period.
Maybe i need to stop the Nardil again, which isn't working for me anymore anyways, and start a dopamin agonist again or Levodopa/carbidopa?
Sorry for my English, it's not my native language
