How long have you been taking the Rop and have you been increasing the dose because it wasn't working as wellas before?

If the answer to the first is ' a long time' and to the latter Q is yes- then search "augmentation "

All is not lost.😎

sleepreviewmag.com/2015/02/... This may help if you are suffering from augmentation.

There is a lot of information on the forum about augmentation because unfortunately it is common.

If I take mine early enough it helps. It was suggested today that I start taking Iron and Magnesium tablets too. I'll take anything to stop it!

The iron bisglycinate taken before bed about an hour has not failed me yet but I take two 20mg pills. My doctor approves. I ordered magnesium threonate but will probably not take the two at the same time.

Please try the FODMAP or the Low Chemical diet. You can search this forum for heaps of information. The diets really work for some people. In a week or perhaps three months you might have zero RLS. Its cheap. No one is profiteering from it.

Please try it.
