All I can say is i've been on all of the Parkinson's meds and sinamet was the worse for me.
One of the newsletters from Hopkins RLS clinic said sorry but it seems it can cause augmentation.
It did for me.

probably because I hadn't changed my profile sig. Didn't even realize it til I saw the responses.
Funny just sitting here is driving me nuts. Haven't been able to really "surf" to find you all.
Anyone go into remission since I was here before?

I couldn't sit still long enough!

It's true. I've had a horrible time since my surgery in 2008.
It's worse than it ever was with pain now. I see my Dr next week.

It's sooo good to see and hear from you!

I get updates from Hopkins RLS, not sure what the last update means about iron and obsortion..

You can see mine on most days too. How did you do on the Klonopin? Even if the Dr doesn't "believe" you have RLS why not give yo...
