That's good to hear. I was curious about Mayo, because I had tried to go there and my insurance at the time would not cover it. I was despirate at the time. DEB

That is such crazy advice. I mean, to stop them WHILE USING SOMETHING ELSE, is a good thing, but to just stop them and go without anything?

I know. I agree with the idea of replacing what's not working, or trying to find the least offensive med that can Di the trick but to go without for 3-6 months is just shy of complete torture. There is no way possible that I would've lasted more than a few nights.

I reckon 'torture' is a pretty valid description of being without med for rls.
