Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thanks for the reply..I'm ready to get off this Requip..drop to 1-MG tonight, probably gonna be rough trying to get any sleep once I'm no longer taking any Requip but hopefully the RLS will subside after a few days. I don't know really what to expect or how I'm gonna get to sleep because I can't rem...

Well here I sit in front of the computer... once again the bugs have come alive in my legs, been fighting them since 3:00 am..I'm so tired, seems like my RLS has become so much worse since being overdosed on Requip..Approx. 77-78 days ago I was on 12-MG Requip (1) time daily, usually at night. Terri...

Well I had been taking Gabapentin 1500 MG distributed throughout the day but my ankles and feet were swelling really bad. I went back to my Doctor at the VA Hospital, he switched me to 75MG Pregabalin in the mornings and 150 MG at night. The Pregabalin don't seem to be as effective combating the RLS...

I'm guessing we have no Veterans on this site that had ANTHRAX VACCINATIONS during their military service? If anyone has had these vaccinations I'd appreciate a response..I'm just trying to figure out where this RLS/PLMD/OSA came from, something caused it.

The Requip works for a given amount of time for a given person, all different, just a good idea to ensure if you were to consider this drug, take the lowest dose possible...anything above 1.0 MG stop taking it..just my opinion..

Thanks,..I'm still having some transient withdrawals from dropping from 12- MG of Requip being taken for approx: (1) Year, dropping to 4-MG on 28 December 2023..now down to 1.5 MG daily..Its was bad the drop from 12-MG to 4-MG thought I was gonna die about day 4 afterwards..seems the side effects st...

Well I've been on Gabapentin 300 MG in the morning, 300 MG @ Noon and 900 MG @ Night with 2.0 MG Requip. The Gabapentin has started making my feet and ankles swell really bad and all my joints have become very stiff. My doctor switched me to 75 MG Lyrica (Pregabalin) in the mornings and 150 MG @ nig...

Well I'm on day 13 continuing with 1500 MG gabapentin and 2-MG Requip...Day 15 I continue with Gabapentin and reduce Requip to 1-MG hopefully the Gabapentin stays effective in controlling RLS, especially at sleep time. My RLS now seems to be concentrated in muscle groups, like my calves, hips and th...

Good Morning All, can someone please tell me what is the maximum daily recommended dosing is for Requip? Where is this dosing information found, what guidelines? Thanks for any help..

OH yeah by the way..I've talked with several doctors, pain management, ankle and foot doctors, neurologist, etc. I've asked about the Peroneal Nerve Tunnel Decompression surgery that the podiatrist Dr. Anderson in Colorado claims will reverse RLS, (I mentioned in one of my previous post) seems to ju...

I'll be going back to my neurologist after I get completely off the Requip for further evaluation and long term treatment plan..Hopefully the Gabapentin will control my RLS by itself when I'm no longer on any dopamine antagonist drugs. I would rather be on a lower dose of Gabapentin because 1500 sp...

Well its day 9 of my requip reduction phase and I'm feeling good about the process. It seems my RLS symptoms are decreasing in intensity as time goes by. I've been taking the 1000 mG B-12, Gabapentin 300 mg in the morning, 300 mg at noon and 900 at night along with 2-mg requip, I've been really tire...

I've had RLS for about 24 years now and I've mostly stayed on Requip.. I started having severe back problems, went through (3) spinal stimulators and eventually to taking the buprenorphine patches, the stuff I was on was called BelBucca..dissolves between the cheek and gum. Well while I was on the B...

Thank You Polar Bear for posting a response..this forum really seems to help me mentally, just knowing that I'm not having hallucinations of these weird feeling not only in my legs at this point but all over my body, like cycling around to different muscle groups. I got home late last night from the...
