Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

wonderful that is great you found a good doctor. good luck to you and i hope you dont have either of the autoimune diseases. although they can run hand in hand with rls.

Well i took mirepex and had horrible worsening of my rls/plms so could be that one. I also took requip with no sucess and took neurotin. Of the three mirepex gave me the worse troubles in making my rls much worse. And since you have experienced agumentation with requip and requip and mirepex are sim...

Hello. I've been taking Klonopin for so long I can't rememer how long. I take 1 mg before bed, and sometimes have to take a second 1 mg during the night. It works fairly well most nights but I'm curious about Requip. Last week my doctor gave me two trial sample packs but I'm hesitant to try them, e...

What was your question again

i didnt have agumentation for me it just plain didnt work. The only drug that caused agumentation for me was mirapex. Sinement and requip did nothing to stop it but it didnt make it worse either.

Thats good advise Dan however in order to have post polio you would have had polio as a child. Which I am sure alot of did not have. Like myself I recieved the polio shot as a child.

I do not know if I have RLS or what is going on and I cannot get my doctor to take me seriously. My entire body jerks (described as a extreme startled reaction), I scream and curse, and talk loudly in my sleep. I am also told that I snore extremely loudly. This effects me health wise. OH I have fib...

I have taken: Mirapex - gave me worsening Klonopin - made me to sleepy and didnt help the jerking Neurotin - no side effects however no results with rls Requip - no side effects and no results with rls Carlidopa/levodopa - no side effects with no results Depakote - for both rls and headaches with no...

Well when I took Klonopin I took it for about two months and I just stoped taking it. I was having some real bad side affects so I just quit no wheening involved and I had no withdrawl from it. So just shows that we are all different.
