Seems like you've done your homework, so to speak , and have made some good choices. Ultimately, dosage and final choices will be completely dependent on your physiology. Mirapex, for example, works at .125 for some people, yet others take 3 mg. The average dose if .75. For Requip, some people manag...

Seletua, Good advice from everyone. ANY antidepressant can be very problematic; they can even cause RLS is people who've never had it before, so you can imagine what they can do if we have RLS to start. The werid thing is they don't affect all of us the same way - but since you are having a devilish...

Published Research - Pharmaceutical
Today I read about safinamide, a new drug in Phase II trials that "resulted in a significant improvement in all efficacy parameters studied when administered to patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Safinamide was also found to be well tolerated and did not exhibit any clinically relevant...

Hi Carol Ann, It's so frustrating to get it back after it's been gone, isn't it? I am always depressed when that happens. I, too, hope we get some better solutions to this. It sounds like it could be augmentation and rebound. The rebound occurs after the dose wears off, the augmentation makes it occ...

Em, I just ran across this post on another RLS board. The poster says that his/her experience is primarily in the face:

Maybe you could post and ask some questions about that person's experience.

I'm not sure how much I can help. I can say that RLS CAN occur in any body part, so it's completely possible to be in your trunk. And, the diagnosis is made from the four criteria - which all apply to you (I think I remember reading that you wrote that!). So, is it possilbe? Absolutely. Is it RLS? M...

Hey, Sherry! I was just thinking about you an hour or so ago. Hope all is going relatively well. That's interesting about the feeling in your spine. I don't know what's in Doans - I was a waitress years ago and remember taking them on one occasion when my back was soooo sore. They worked really well...

Some Factoids about the Drugs We Take
I was going through my notes from the 2004 conference and happened on Dr Rye's slides about drug treatments and some other information about drugs and RLS. Here are some of the new things I learned at that conference. (This was moved from the New to RLS sticky. Seems more appropriate here.) 1. 80% o...

Augmentation
A lot has been written here about augmentation (admittedly, much of it by me ). I suffered from it tremendously, so my life's mission is to prevent it from happening to others. Augmentation is simply RLS that happens earlier or more severely than usual. It happens primarily with dopamine agonists, h...
