My name is Indirani. I live in Hyderabad, India. I'm now visiting my son in Phoenix helping take care of my grandson who's turned all of 5 months today.
I'm thrilled to see this forum because back home in India hardly anyone seems to know or understand let alone sympathise with my terrible RLS!
I've had RLS for over a decade. It used to give me severe insomnia but was never diagnosed till 4 years ago. A sleep doctor finally recognised RLS for what it was and put me on Ropinirole 1 mg. Rls augmented in less than a year. We experimented with Ropinirole XT because RLS would set in by mid day. That didn't work too
A year back I switched to Pramipex, first on .25 and now on .5 mg. It helps at night. But I've started feeling the creeping, restless sensation by day too. RLS sets in by late morning and gives me a hard time all day.
Should I increase the dosage?
I'm wondering if I can have one more dose of Pramipex .5 mg around noon. Does anyone do that?
I also bought this capsule called 'Stop Restless Legs' online. Has anyone tried it? Would you recommend I take it in addition to Pramipex?
I'll be very grateful for some answers.
Thank you
