Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Update: I am continuing to forgo caffeine after 7pm, and at first it seemed to be helping, then something strange happened. I don't have the restless legs as I fall asleep but I have it closer to the morning, which I've never had before. This doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone else heard of this o...

After 3 months of walking the floor all night, eating compulsively, and being almost unable to function, I finally agreed to try ropinirole. I've been taking a maintenance dose of .25 mg every ni...
