Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Wednesday, October 26

Welcome to

vicki, who has developed RLS quickly over the last 2 years and is now on the highest dose of Ropinirole. The worst thing about RLS is that she cannot sit and read for a long time anymore. Then there is the night time twitching that bothers both her and her husband. With the medication, she is able to get good sleep but she still kicks all night and disturbs his sleep. She is looking for some help for both of them.

Take a look around and please post a note telling us your current dose of ropinerole and asking any questions that you have or areas where you need suggestions.

Welcome to:


bwetherill - who has had RLS since 8 years old. Generally managed it without medication. At one point when in 30's started to explore medications, but then luckily read about augmentation through the RLS Foundation. bwetherill is glad not to have gone farther with medications.

You had the right mind set not to have started medications if you were able to cope without them. Please post and tell us how you have been coping.
