When my RLS kicks in (ha ha) I get it in one leg at a time ,never both. Is this the way it works for everyone? It usually starts up on it's own, but if I think about it I can make it start. Which makes me wonder if it's more that a physical condition. I'm starting to get it in my arms. If I don't have Requip with me and it starts ,my leg will go into convulsions. This is beyond hell , and I become a crazy person. I get so angry when I read an artical or report on rls and the Doctor makes it sound vaguely uncomfortable. They know nothing. These are the medicines I take everyday and I'm going to start reducing them as soon as i talk my Doctor around. Colonazepam
1mg 2Xa day , Requip 3 mg 1 in am 2 in pm.Gabapentin 600 mg 1 in am , 2 in pm. Most nights I sleep 1 1/2 hrs. , but I can go 1 to 3 nights without any sleep at all. That is when the Beast comes out. Pam
My RLS kicks in one leg at a time as well. Never both.
Search Augmentation in the search box above as it sounds to me like you may be experiencing augmentation on the Requip. It's getting worse and has moved to your arms- tell tale signs of augmentation.
