I am 34 and have had rls since my early 20's.When I got pregnant with my first child it became worse.Since then I have been taking requip 0.5mg at night. I want to have another child but I have to go off the requip.I am sooo afraid b/c the requip works great.Did some investigation and permax Is a catagory b medication.Would like to know If there Is anyone In the same boat and could use non-medication tips also.
Thanks

pregnancy and rls
im not sure about the permax. i think that pregnant women can use opiod basd meds during pregnancy if things get bad, i think that this wont harm the baby if used in small quantities so not to cause addiction (you or the baby). best top talk to your doctor about your options but discuss opiods as well in your discussion and see what he says. post his reply it would be interesting to hear!
