Wednesday - 28, January
Welcome to Howard, who's had WED/RLS for many years, was recently diagnosed, and it's now getting worse.
Howard, I have to ask - did the doctor prescribe a dopamine agonist, such as ropinerole (Requip is the brand name in the US) or prampipexole (brand name Mirapex in the US)? Start a new topic and let us know about your situation. Or read posts - lots of great info. Start with the link in my signature.

Please welcome
Kidaroo, who has had restless legs for years but just put a name to it in the last few years, is currently taking Requip and was about to ask doctor to increase the dose when Kidaroo read about augmentation and is now concerned.
You have good reason to be concerned if you have been on Requip for a while and need more to regain control. Take a look at the link in my signature to get a better idea if you may be augmenting. You should also take a look at the links in badnight's signature to get more info in augmentation.

Welcome to Mattie, who's symptoms are causing considerable anguish and affecting so many things, and who is feeling very hopeless.
Mattie - we hear you. We've all been there (and sometimes are). Poke around, read the older posts (starting with the one in my signature), or start a new topic of your own and introduce yourself. We're here to help.
