Suffered since childhood
I've been able to manage (pain and discomfort) RLS a couple different ways..In the beginning I used
requip
and Ultram until Ultram because a so called problem drug(I never had any issues with it) I used it for a couple of years before
requip
became available and then used in conjunction with
requip
.

recommendations for high cholesterol med please
For RLS I'm now on gabapentin (100mg) and .5mg
requip
(need to transition off). My RLS is the best it's been in years! However, my doc wants me to continue to take the pravastatin (80mg) for the high cholesterol. Will the statin aggravate my RLS?

London Royal Hospital consultants
I'm on Selegiline and Ropinirole (
Requip
). Be grateful for any comments or tips. Also wondering if this Hospital has good Parkinson’s nurses whom you can contact?

Night 11 without Requip, best sleep yet
I don't want to get too excited but I haven't slept over 5 hours in a couple of months since reducing DA meds (
Requip
down to 1/4 and then 0). I am trying a later bed time 10:30/11 instead of 9 pm. I have always gone to be early and gotten up early even though we are retired.

final days of Requip
I only took 1mg of
Requip
for a couple of years. Doctor said I could take 2-1 mg a day. Something told me not to do it so I only seldom took over the 1 mg. Recently I did take 1/2 because of taking care of a family member and her dementia didn't allow her to understand me walking around.

Melatonin
Melatonin and Reduced
Requip
to .75 mg from 1 mg. I hadnt mentioned i am following the low glutamine diet as well. It is so rare to feel good . My heart goes out to thise suffering. I think the melatonin is helping. Perhaps the large loading dose reset something.

Depressed, hopeless and sleep deprived with RLS. HELP??
I’ve been in
Requip
for 6 years - 2 mg XL, 2 2mg
Requip
along with clonopin & methadone. My neurologist of 15 years has given up on me. I saw another one a few weeks ago and she said everything she’d prescribe, I’ve already tried so she turned me away.

Met with neurologist out of Vanderbilt yesterday
I am quietly hopeful, I have been decreasing my
Requip
but it is a struggle but manageable. I seldom every let myself take more than 1 mg a day for several years, so hoping the nights slowly get better.

Accupuncture and RLS
I recently started taking Gabapentin 300 mg before bed with .5 mg of
Requip
. I have been augumenting for about a year now but usually don't take extra meds unless I am somewhere I can't get up and move around. Just wondering if anyone has tried Acupuncture? Thanks

Normal Meds: is this it?!
I say normal because up until recently I’ve used a cocktail of normal (Rasagaline,
Requip
and Madopar) alongside Mucuna. The Mucuna was my go to stuff if I needed an immediate lift as it worked so quickly.
