Thank you susan about the drugs, what a bad night I've had... took my usual 2 mg Requip at 9 pm then watched a movie, tried to sleep at 11.30 without success, around 2am took 4 mg valium and then at 6am took another 4 mg valium, still no sleep and no respite in the legs and arms. it's now 8.30 am. I...

Hi folks, don't know what happened but went to bed and my little respite'as I thought' didn't continue, within 10minutes thecrawlies were back. So Ive been up and about again and its now 5.30 am
Help !

Thanks, I note what you are saying about the possible side effects of a double dose of Requip. You suggest temazepam, is that the same as diazepam which I do have. With regard to an opiod if these are on doctor's prescription only, I won't have the opportunity to see him and try and get it. I do hav...

Thanks Pat and Zach. I have a short initial flight of 1 and a half hours and wont take anything. On boarding the long haul (9 hours) I will take 2 mg Requip which hopefully will help initially, along with a few laps of the plane when required and a bottle of tonic water, haven't tried that yet but s...

Hi folks, I take 2mg Requip in the evening. (plus magnesium and folic acid and Vit. B.) As I am going long haul flight (9 hours journey) in 4 days, flying early morning, I was wondering if I could also take 2mg Requip at the start of the flight at around 12.30 lunchtime. Would this be too much Requi...

Thanks Ann, for your explanation on the difference between reobound and augmentation!! I can see that it is difficult to tell the difference. Perhaps you folks can help me further. As I am going on a 2 hr plane journey, folowed by a 10 hour plane journey, I have been reading the rls rebel pages on t...

Thanks Charlene, can you or anyone explain very simply the difference between 'rebound' and augmentation. Ta, Betty

This is working at the moment. Having been on Requip without a great deal of success it was eventually upped to 2mg with a bit of success. Then after working my way thru a lot of the posts and seeing what other people tried, this is what I have done: I take about a 1/4 of my Requip tablet at around ...

Thanks Becat, I used your link and it took me to the main RLS Rebel page, but when I clicked onto the link on this page for RLS Rebel Website, the link with the little 'cap' beside it, all I get is 'page has expired'. No luck at all !
Is there anything else I can try? Ta, Betty

Thanks, I typed in www.rlsrebel.com it came up but when I clicked onto the rls web page link (with the little hat symbol) I just got 'not available' however the other links worked. ie link for thyroid, cancer, etc.just not the rls web page link ?? Anyone else finding this?
Ta, Betty

Thanks.

Hi there, I had found that putting my feet into a bucket of really cold water for about 10 minutes would give relief for a good hour. Tho wondered how I would deal with this and where I would get a bucket in a hotel when I go on hols in a few weeks to Canada... don't want to give a crazy view of the...

By the way, just put two bars of soap under my mattress. Here's hoping.

I found Requip 2mg good for a couple of weeks. Now still not so bad, but would have some difficult nights. Tried biting off a little piece of the tablet at about 8.30 pm (about a third of a pill), then at 10.30pm taking the rest together with 300mg magnesium for burning feet. Don't know if the magne...

Oh please no... Requip is working for me at present, let's not have weight gain as well, cos I could do with losing 7 lbs for a wedding in 4 weeks!!!
bye for now, with lips sealed Betty
