Thank you, I will have my Dr. check my ferritin levels at my next visit!!
I have not had an episode for two months now, so thats why i don't believe it is the requip. I would think that i would still be having problems?
Well, who knows? I just keep plugging along Stacey
My experience didn't last 3 months but rather 2 pills. First one made me dizzy and awake-up walking like a zombie. Second pill had me passing out cold and taking down the Christmas tree with me, smashing ornaments and leaving my husband in a panic that I'd died. The commercials for Requip sound so magical but in reality left me UNQUIPPED rather than REQUIPped
There are about 20% of RLS sufferers who do not tolerate the DA's, I am one of them. Truly thankful you suffered no major injury while on Requip, that would have been horrid!
Hopefully you are finding information and alternative therapies which are helping you manage your health care.
