Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I was just reading the RLS article on yahoo, one person commented at the end, that "my wife put a bar of ivory soap under my sheets and my RLS stopped" I seriously doubt he had RLS, please.........SOAP?? I was told by my mother about a friend of hers that said a bar of regular dial soap would, I tho...

My RLS usually didnt kick in until I was settled down at night to relax, it would usually start around 7pm and last for 4-5hours or more. My pain wasnt so much of throbbing, but more of a pre-charley horse cramp pain. It would lessen if I moved, which I would do nightly. I have gotten some pretty st...

Just a little update on the Mirapex hangover...........this is my second week, the hangover has lessened and now only last for around 30mins to an hour after I wake as opposed to all day like the first few days. So far, knock on wood, my symptoms are 100% gone. My partner and I can sleep in the same...

From everything I have read, Dopamine Agonists like Requip and Mirapex do have the dream side effect. I have been on Mirapex for a little over a week. I'm having vivid, almost movie like dreams that seem to stretch on and on. I had one the other night, it started on a friday in my dream, stretched a...

Well, this is my 4th day on the .25mg...............the hangover seems to be lessening, but it could just be that I'm so used to being stoned that I have forgotten what it's like to not be........LOL. I was never diagnosed with RLS as a child, I can just remember as far back as 5 having the feelings...

I talked to my doctor, he assures me this is a normal thing when first on the drug. I didnt have the issue on the .125mg for the first 5 days and my symptoms seemed to be controlled on that amount, only after I started the .25mg did I start feeling so disconnected. He is going to write the scrip for...

I know exactly the situation you are in. I have had a horrible time finding something that will work. During the process, we have been sleeping in seperate bedrooms due to "my not taking care of the problem" They are a very light sleeper, but I got punished for something I have zero control over. I"...

Hi! I'm new to the group, I have been suffering from RLS since I was 5 (first that I can remember), I am 35 now. It has been getting progressively worse over the past 5 years with a strong surge over the past year. I finally went to a Neuro and he prescribed Mirapex. I started on .125mg and am now o...
