Restless legs syndro: Rls is a common condition and should be treated appropriately. Diagnosing correctly is a challenge. Review other medicines that can cause restlessness or akathisia (the urgency to move the legs) and consider other associated illnesses causing fatigue, tiredness, or dizziness.

RLS: If your mom has restless legs syndrome (rls) ; it is not controlled with mirapex, (pramipexole) it is recommended she see a sleep medicine specialist. There are other medications besides Mirapex (pramipexole) to help with RLS symptoms. Also, she can keep hydrated, do gentle leg stretches prior to bedtime, avoid caffeine, ; try to regularize her bedtime which can possibly help somewhat. Hope that helps!
