If it were me, I'd talk my fears over with doc, and then take it a step at a time.
Good luck

Well... the way I look at it .... without medication I had no quality of life, every aspect of my life was impaired, I was distraught. If medication gives me a quality of life, then I am not going to stop taking that medication, so there will be no problem with withdrawal. Unless there was an unacce...

From what I understand, yes it can just get worse, tho maybe there has been a contributory factor that you are unaware of. For instance, my medication cover is doing the best it ever has (tho not perfect) and yet for no apparent reason I can have an evening/night where rls symptoms just go mad, and ...

3 years ago I flew from London to Edmonton Canada, west coast, a 9 hour journey. It was before my medications were properly sorted out. I had a low dose of requip and a few codeine that I requested from my doc specially for the trip. Part of the time I was in my seat weeping, part of the time I was ...

I am not always symptom free. But I am so.... much better. Taking a dose a bit late will cause a problem cos the symptoms get a chance to do their dance. Also, occasionally there can be a night when nothing works, but that doesn't happen so often now. I usually take an extra tramadol if this happens...

Sorry you are suffering so much. I may be wrong here, but I thought that augmentation was when a medication which is being used to treat rls backfired and caused the rls symptoms to get worse. And that any other medication (i.e. not for rls symptoms) that caused rls to get worse would then be just t...
