Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Jen, I had mentioned the pill cutter. I know that Requip has an odd shape but like I had said before I was desperate and needed to cut these pills in half as I was not able to get my prescription for at least a week. I am so glad that you are feeling much better and hope that it continues.

Hi Dhintze I also saw the website for neurosil and was going to order it but was leary as it does not give any ingredients. You said that it takes about 3 days to work into your system. Did you take anything else those three days, if not, did you have problems with rls? The site said to take it in t...

Hi Wam, I love your comment "Anger Management Classes" lol I can so relate to laying there for an hour, feet itch, legs and feet hurt etc. I can be walking the floors and here my husband is snoring away. Oh well, we might as well laugh; like Jen says or else we will start crying which I have done ma...

My husband can sleep anywhere anytime. I just envy him. I do not remember the last time when I slept through the night. If I did, I would probably think I died and went to heaven lol. Jen I just love it wanting to just smack him lol. Ditto on that one.

Dear Steelergal78 I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Do you take Requip before going to bed? I know that I take it at least 1-2 hrs before retiring and it does let me sleep. I hope that your dr can do something for you. Please keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doi...

Ann, I read the post that author Richard let you post. Do you know anyone else that has used this back massager/circulation booster? Any information that you have would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Grammy, I am so sorry that you are getting nauseated with Requip. When I first stated taking Requip, my dr gave me a starter pack and then when she gave me a prescription for 2mg and that made me very nauseated. I then went to a 1mg and still was nauseated. During that time, I found this site and...

Rubyslipper and Lynne
Very well said. Faith has brought me through some tough times. Thank you for what you said and felt.

I took clonazepam for a while. It worked in the beginning and then my symptons came back so decided to stop taking it. Also did not like the fact that it was a control substance and stopped taking it cold turkey. I for one can tell anyone if you are thinking about doing that, DO NOT. I was walking t...

Bouncing the legs and walking the floors helped and then Thursday I had a horrible set back and nothing worked as the pain was excruriating. I even had my husband rubbed them and even that did not work.
