I also have rls, I have had it as long as I can remember, but I didn't know it until about last year. I never knew how to describe it to anyone.

Rumple, I had problems with requip too. I found that if I took it with a snack it wasn't as bad. I had problems with sweating and nausea too. I am no longer taking it for those reasons, but you might want to try taking it with a snack.

I tried requip but the side effects weren't worth it. I'm going to have to go back to doc soon, legs are getting worse and I'...
