I have just been prescribed Sinemet for my RLS. When I read the possible side effects, I got scared to take it.
Does anyone else take it, and does it work. Also, am I a worry wart about the possible side effects, and what natural means are tried and found to be true?
Sinemet or not?

Hi Conniebonnie,
You might get a better response in the Pharmaceutical Therapy section, as many people who read this part of the board don't take drugs. In that section, there have been many past posts about Sinemet. Try posting there, and if you have the time, it might get a faster answer to go through the older posts.
There are many posts in this section about the natural stuff that works for people, but again, the best way is to read them, even though is is time consuming. So many people come and post an idea to be helpful, but don't stay here on the board, so if you don't go back to read their posts, you won't find their information.
Also, try the New to RLS section and read the Start Here sticky thread. In the first post, it lists many things to do to get RLS under control, with or without medication. Oh, and in that same thread is some information about Sinemet.
Welcome to the board. I hope you can find what you are looking for and hope to see you posting more.
