I used to take it but then my chemist started having problems getting it, and I felt like I was a junkie because I would have panic attacks and go into a state of running around manchester with my perscription trying to get some :(. xxx

Thats a good chemist you have. Im going to make an appointment with my doctor asap to demand some blood test to test my iron and vitamins etc. also the are lots of other stuff linked with rls and i want all of them ruling out. Its a horrid thing we suffer from, i dont even get pain its just the sensations. Will keep everyone updated wen i get to the doctors x

Yep slow release which I think is the ER. It works for me and if I start getting symptoms earlier in the evening I can just take them earlier if that makes sense. Agree with care needed of timing of putting repeats in at pharmacy - we've ended up on mad chases across town as well. And missing a tablet by forgetting - well you don't do it twice.
