Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I was waiting to post information after the one month appointment with the neurologist. Many, many responses on this topic ring so true, and I am sure it is because people have walked in my husband's shoes or been a part of someone's life who has RLS. The compulsion for video gaming machines subside...

Once again, you all are fabulous! I listened to the woman who has Parkinson's and also had compulsive gambling from a med. I got emotional listening to how she felt after she got off the meds and also identified with her son when he said he was relieved to have his mom "back." The explanat...

My husband has been off of the Neupro patch completely since June 10th. Even though the "shelf" life for Neupro is relatively short, he was on 4mg for four years. He says he has no compulsion to gamble but I don't think he is completely in control Just my opinion. What I am wondering is th...

Once again, your answers and comments are so very helpful. He was on 4mg on Sunday, 2mg on Monday and Tuesday, and nothing after that. I feel reassured about the Methadone after your comments. My emotions are up and down: angry, sad, loving, hurt, empathetic, astounded, not trusting, deflated, relie...

Thanks for your comments. Does anyone know how long it will take to get Neupro out of a person's system? He has been on it for four years at 4mg.

First, thank you for posting so much information and your "own stories" because walking in someone's shoes proves valuable when dealing with the unknown. My last post, my friend saw my husband's car at the bowling alley where the gaming machines are located. I believe it was last Wednesday...

Good Morning! Yesterday was an interesting day in my almost 48 years of marriage and knowing this guy since April 1967 when we were in college. My friend parked her car near a lot of the bowling alley and watched for my husband to enter the building. I was at bridge and my car was visible to him if ...

Thanks once again for all of the information. Today I play bridge. Today my friend will be sitting in a parking lot looking for my husband to walk in. I HATE that I have to be a super sleuth or senior citizen Nancy Drew but things just aren't right. On suspect he went someplace on Sunday because whe...

Thank you! The information is very helpful and before I joined this discussion board, I called his neurologist's office and an appointment has been made. Also, I accessed the links and read about Augmentation and also insights into dopamine agonist meds. On the positive side? He does not know enough...

My husband has RLS and sees a neurologist. He took Mirapex for awhile and also Gabapentin but now takes Lyrica twice a day and wears a Neupro patch. He doesn't have the "dancing legs" every night but when he does, he goes for walks to relieve the feeling. In fact, walking seems to be the o...
