I take Ambien for a sleep disorder, but to be blunt, it doesn't always do the trick. Last night after taking my Requip, 500 mg Soma and .50 mg Xanad and 10 mg Ambien, it took me hours to get to sleep and I woke up off and on all night long. Sometime it works great, sometimes it doesn't faze me. TxDo...

I take Requip .5 mg three hours before bedtime. It helps a lot and I don't get sick to my stomach on that dosage. Last night I failed to take it until 10:0 p.m. and I was not able to get to sleep until really late and I have to get up at 4:00 a.m. each weekday morning. I also take Soma which is a mu...

Waving Hi, Haven't Been Here In A While
Checking in and saying hello to all I haven't been around in awhile due to busy schedule. I still suffer from the RLS and sometimes it has been bad even in the afternoon while I am at work. I am still taking the Requip .5mg at bedtime and that helps me when I sleep, but I do suffer from the RLS even...

Lori it sounds like you have been through hell and back with your medical problems. I am glad that the tumor disappeared, but I imagine that getting yourself ready for surgery and then told that the tumor disappeared would be very hard on your emotions. I take Requip .5 mg as this is all I could tol...

I have had great success with Requip. I take .5mg which is all my body could tolerate and it works great. I have no more restlesslegs during the night and it actually makes me a little sleepy which is good because I suffer from another sleep disorder called parasomnia. I have had RLS since I was a k...

I have been on Requip .5 mg for about three weeks now and it has been a life saver for me. I too have the feelings in my arms and hands. I have to stay busy all the time or I feel I am going nuts. My Dr. is very understanding and listens to me about my symptoms and doesn't dismiss me as nuts. I also...

I too have severe RLS in my legs, hips, arms and shoulders as well as my feet, especially on my left side. Sometimes I feel like I could swing the arms and legs involuntarily and whack someone up against their head. I feel out of control when I have this sensation and pain. I am a very active person...

Here is how I described my pain and legs to my Dr. recently when I went to confer with him about some issues. I told him that I felt like I was a puppet on a string and that whoever was controlling the string to my legs, were pulling it taut and it made me feel like I had to swing, beat, twhirl and ...

Alisha I don't have medical insurance either as we are self employed and I have a very understanding and helpful Dr. who understands that things are expensive and gives me samples of the medications and cuts my bill in half since I pay cash. I don't believe that RLS is psychological it is neurologic...
