Re: Is your DA causing augmentation?

The month of December 2016, brought great relief to me of my RLS, with 1 Ropinerole & 1 Gabapentin taken at 7pm every night. Now, 5 months later, I am right back in the throes of nightly RL,with no relief from the above doses of meds. Is this augmentation? Should I do a trial of increasing the d...
