Brandy is right, DAs do cause augmentation, worsening of rls sensations, experiencing rls in areas not normally affected. Use the search option at the top o...

Dear Brandy, It may be that it is indirectly related to the unmanaged RLS/PLMD. When we are not able to achieve quality restorative sleep, have continuous pain, our bodies pain signals can be heightened. During sleep I know that I flex my feet alot as DH has told me, so it is possible that is a cont...

Dear WDF - There are about 20% of RLS sufferers who do not tolerate the DA's, I am one of them. Truly thankful you suffered no major injury while on Requip, that would have been horrid!
