Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I am on Requip 50 mg at this time and in four days I will go up to 1 mg and then see the Dr. again for a follow up. I have Fibromyalgia and take Soma 500 mg at night for the muscle problems and Xanax when needed. I also take Lexapro 10 mg for anxiety/panic disorder. The Requip has made a big differe...

I am on Requip .50 mg now and will be moving to 1 mg in about four days. It has been a godsend for me. I have had no side affects at all and wil be going back in to meet with my Dr. in two weeks to see if we need to go higher or not. I have Fibromyalgia also and I am in pain most of the time so I do...

Jan I suffer from it during the day also, extremely painful arms and legs and feet. I have to be in constant motion or I feel like the world is spiraling out of control. My family thinks I am nuts but my late father and Grandmother had this and of course no one knew 25 years ago what this was. I wou...

Today is a bad day in the way of pain for me with my Fibromyalgia and RLS. I just popped a Soma muscle relaxer 250 mg here at work and it didn't interfer with my skills, but I am not driving today so I am safe. The pain is bad in my upper back on my left side as well as my arms today. I slept better...

Becat I am in Plano, Texas, where in Texas are you? It is thundering very loudly right now and here's to hoping that we get some rain.

Good morning to you all from a hot and humid day in Texas. I had a bad night last night even with my med's. I had to sit for 8 hours yesterday with getting up only two times for 10 minute breaks and my body didn't like that. I also have Fibromyalgia along with the RLS and today I am not feeling well...

I currently take .50 mg of Requip three hours before bedtime, Soma 500 mg for my Fibromyalgia, Xanax at bedtime and Benicar (blood pressure med). The Requip is working wonders for my RLS and I have two wonderful nights of sleep.

I too have Fibromyalgia and have suffered from it for about 6 years. I was recently diagnosed with RLS and the new medication I am taking is a godsend.

It is a good day today because I have had two restful nights of sleep from my new medication for RLS. Today is payday and Friday so that makes it even better.

Hazel I hope you get some answers on Monday when you go see your Dr. The new medicine my Dr. prescribed me is working great. I go up to .50 mg tonight for five nights and I have to say I have had two nice nights of sleep without waking or flinging myself around the bed. This condition is very stress...

I was just prescribed Requip starting out at 0.25mg for two days and then 0.50 mg for five days and then 1 mg for the rest of the time to see if this will help with my RLS.
