Welcome to
Willshake, who has had WED for years. Requip worked at first but after a few years RLS kept getting worse due to augmentation and is now trying to stop taking.
You will find quite a bit of help about augmentation and comments about trying to get off of a DA here on the board. Also, feel free to add a post to get help and support. That is what we are here for.
Sfin1000 who wants to learn more about WED.
