Ferritin level
I started taking slow iron about 4 months ago because I'm trying different things to help ween myself off
requip
. I slowly noticed an improvement in my rls since taking iron. I'm down to 1/4 of my usuall dose of
requip
most nights. My dr ordered a iron and ferritin level.

Finally some relief!
I had seen many neurologists over the years, was prescribed Mirapex,
requip
to max dosage, 4mg Neupro patch which all eventually made me so much worse. Dr. Rajeev Kumar at the Rocky Mountain Movement Disorder Center assesed me and said I was in the top 1% of people who suffer from RLS.

My take on rls and copper
I tried sinamet and
requip
. Didn't do shot for me accept cause augmentation. I was just given my grandfather's copper bracelet. Apparently he had arthritis and the bracelet eleviated his symptoms. And my dad swears by magnets for his arthritis.

Having an iron infusion has made my RLS 90% better
I am still taking 1mg of
reQuip
before bed but I am going to start weaning myself off this as I do not feel I need it now. Anyway I just wanted to let other people know about this and hope it helps someone else. Good luck !

Medicine not working anymore
I have used
requip
for about 7 years. It worked well until a couple months back and then my doctor raised my dose from 1mg to 2 mg. I hate the way the medication makes me feel and am looking for another option. I do not think my doctor knows much about the condition.

Apomorphine Injection
I was diagnosed with Parkinsons some 12 years ago and have been taking Stalevo and
Requip
successfully for most of this time. However, recently my meds have become unreliable to the extent that I am unable to make any plans as I never know how I will be.

Nothing Works Anymore
So after trying all the usual suspects (
requip
, miraplex, oxycodone, tramadol, gabapentin, I am now having panic and anxiety attacks probably due to lack of sleep.

HELP! IS THERE SUCH A THING ANYMORE? DR'S PUT YOU ON MEDS, THEN YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
THE SURGEON WHO PUT THE DRG IN DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT UNIT CAUSED THE INCREASED RLS OR OTHER HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS I'M GETTING AND MY NEUROLOGIST DOESN'T BELIEVE
REQUIP
CAN CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN OR THE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS THE EXTRA
REQUIP
IS GIVING ME AND REFUSES TO CHANGE MY MED.

Non tremor dominated prognosis
So I added 6 mg of
Requip
but after only 3/4 months, my slowness returning with force. I thought listening to other posters that I might get away with this drug at this level for a couple of years so am rather disappointed.

I found great medicine that works!
I have been on
Requip
for many years. I have been on many things that never worked. I got used to them, they quit working. I highly recommend
requip
. If I had one medicine I had to have it would be that. Without it I don't sleep. Give it a try. There is a generic.

I don't believe this condition is not curable.
Only later did she prescribed a load dose.5 of
Requip

Gabapentin
I take 1800 mg per day and 2 mg of
Requip
. Mostly under control but sometimes add oxycodone, Valium, ice packs and/heat. But I have psoriatic arthritis to go with it which compounds the problem. I wish I could use methadone but I reacted violently to it although it sure worked for the problem.
