It should be Day 8, but a night full of news of cloud rotation meant that sleep wasn't in the works for my night. I hope that doesn't cause a dosage problem.
I can't tell if it's doing anything regarding my legs twitching, but it certainly isn't helping my excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). In fact, I have *more* trouble waking up in the morning. My spouse had the same troubles, so I've started taking it earlier in the evening. The directions say to take it 2-3 hours (iirc) before bedtime, but the doctor suggested 30 minutes to an hour before. Tonight it's about 1.5 hours early. Hopefully it'll help a bit.
I also started taking my decongestant mid-day rather than at bedtime. My sleep was much more restless, so I tried taking it in the morning. I didn't really see any benefit with it during the day. I'm torn whether to start taking it at bedtime again or to just stop it temporarily while trying the Mirapex. The reason I take it at bedtime is because if I don't, I am much, much sleepier in the morning. It may be counter-intuitive to take a stimulant before bedtime, but as odd as it is, it helps.
I should call the sleep doctor tomorrow regarding the Mirapex. I'm not sure what to tell him other than I'm still very sleepy during the day, and there doesn't appear to be any benefit to it. There's that nagging little voice in my head, though, saying that he won't believe me/I'm not seeing something that I should/I'm just trying to get attention.
I'm looking forward to waking up and finding that this is all just a bad dream.
