Hi Applejacks

Welcome. What dose of Requip are you taking and for how long? If you can’t watch a movie without legs twitching you could well be suffering Augmentation. Read the pinned post at the head of this page and watch the video on the main RLS UK website.

Most people visit this site when they suffer Augmentation and get the help they need to withdraw safely and slowly.

There are other, better meds for RLS.

Pregabalin and Gabapentin. If they don’t help, then low dose opioids.

A 2015 study showed that pregabalin was more effective than pramipexole and had a lower rate of Augmentation.

Opioids don’t cause augmentation.
