Requip and Mirapex

I have been on Requip for awhile. The doctor lowered my requip and added mirapex. She does not want me to stop requip in case the mirapex doesn't work for me. Is anyone else on both medicines at the same time?

I have tried Abilify and it made me go out of my mind with restless legs. It was so bad when I was on Abilify that I stopped eating and I was exhausted. I think the situation that I am in is a no win situation.

Seroquel

Has anyone had increased restless legs when taking seroquel? My doctor had to increase my seroquel and my restless legs are acting up.

I take 4 mg requip in the morning, 8 mg at 4:00, and another 8mg at bedtime. Recently it seems like the requip is not working. I was up until 3:00 am last night because of my legs. It is so bad. It makes me want to cry. Hang in there.

I Made It

I made it on the airplane!!! I doubled up on my Requip before we took off. I also drank lots of water or chewed ice cubes. Our flight was about 4 1/2 hours long each way. I got up twice to go to the bathroom. I will tell you what helped the most. That was my IPOD. My husband says he now knows why I ...

airplanes and rls

I am going to be on a plane for 5 hours. Does anyone have any suggestions to keep my rls to a minimum? I plan on taking extra medicine, Requip, and drink plenty of water. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
