So, I think I've decided that a) the meds I've got don't actually do anything (or not very much) to make my legs not desperately need to be stretched or moved, _and_ b) they appear to make me rather wide awake, even when I was very sleepy immediately before taking them. And, annoyingly, awake but still _tired_, so I can't _do_ anything.

I stop taking them, I think, as having to take melatonin to sleep when there aren't seeming to be any useful effects is silly. Also, I call the place that perscribed it, and explain what's going on.

what meds are those?

I... think it's Mirapex. Bad at remembering names, and the bottle's at home. It's for Restless Leg Syndrome.

(and I note that one of the people in the study quoted in the medical journal article my doc gave me dropped out of the study because of insomnia. So I'm thinking this isn't _that_ surprising)
