Restless Leggs Syndrome

Postby KRSTYSTLCLR on Fri May 25, 2012 3:41 pm

So I've been battling it for about 6 months now. Tried calcium and magnesium and potassium and vitamin b-complex. Each one worked a bit, but not enough to really get some sleep. I even tried putting a bar of soap at the foot of my bed under the fitted sheet, and it did help a bit. Still not enough.

My Dr. Started me on Requip which is the new stuff you see advertised for RLS. It works wonderfully I'm glad to report. Quality of sleep is much improved and I have been having very adventurous, fun dreams since. However, I am concerned about taking a Parkinson's drug (which is what Requip is) for a very long time. Also, I can't just stop taking it, it has to slowly build up and decrease in your system. I'll keep taking it for a while until I see the Dr. again, then hopefully I can switch to something that can be used only as needed. Hope this helps someone else down the road. :)
