Restless legs - 5 years and counting - low iron
-I have never taken any medication to treat it (
Requip
, Mirapex, Gabapentin) by choice My memory has gotten really poor over the last few years which I attribute to my lack of quality sleep.

Desperate
I've had RLS for nearly 20 years with the last 9 on
requip
. I've now come off that - about 3 months ago and am on Gabapentin. I've not been to bed in all that time. I get to doze on the settee sometimes.

Confused
My foot doctor prescribed Gabapentin, after reading all the posts about gabapentin and
requip
I'm not sure what to do. I'm doing very well with the
requip
and am afraid to add anything else. Any suggestions??

My experience with Ropinerole (Requip)
I have been on this drug since 2004. My mother, aunt and uncle have had it also, so runs in my family. About 1.5 years ago I mentioned to my doctor that the dose of .50 was no longer working, so he increased it to 1 mg. About a year ago, i noticed my RLS hitting earlier in the evening, so I started

RLS for almost 40 years:(!
Also transitioned to
requip
. O.25 mg tabs, 5 /day. Spread out starting at 2 pm. Once ferritin level was up and
requip
kicked in, I was back to living my life again! Last year, 10 years after the above, I started having issues with RLS again. Had taken management role and was sitting more.

Desperate need for help with RLS
Stopped
Requip
and tried Mirapex and added Gabapentin. The Mirapex had some terrible side effects for me and the 1200mgs of Gabapentin did not work. Moved to Horizant and Tramadol last night and have been up all night.

Supposed to be better than

Augmentation
Before that I was on
Requip
2 mg twice a day for 2004. I am now down to 2 mg. Had two awful nights in a row. Not going back to three mgs. Being strong. What I’m noticing is that when I went from 6mg to 3 I had awful nights but symptoms were around the clock.

Augmentation withdrawal and neupro patch
I was on
Requip
for over 10 years and noticed augmentation and my doc switched me to the patch. At first I didn’t notice any difference but very soon I began to notice that just one patch wasn’t enough so I would leave the previous days’ patch on while applying a new one. Increasing my dosage.

RLS Mistake
Had some leftover
Requip
which I thought would help since it's been months since I augmented on it. Well, now my rls is coming on 2 hours earlier and I can't get anything to stop it except Norco, which I don't want to take every night.

After coming off Sinement
Through the years have gone through Mirapex and
Requip
as well. Currently not on any DAs. My question is after coming off a DA what then? How do you control the RLS? I'm currently on Lyrica and have had iron infusions. But the RLS still breaks through.

Can't seem to keep my mouth and tongue still !!!
It took about 6 months of taking
Requip
(max. dose) for it to calm down. I still have restless feet. I now am experiencing something very weird ! I cannot keep my mouth and tongue still 🙁They are moving constantly and I can't seem to stop it. Has anyone ever heard of this ?

Tried EVERYTHING, and now...
After having my pancreatic levels rise from the Gabapentin and ending up with cardiac issues from the
Requip
...well, over wrought. All the past medications and homeopathic stuff either worked for a short period, didn't work or or I augmented.

Iron infusions
., for RLS and the only thing that has consistently helped me is
Requip
2 mg at bedtime. Unfortunately, I developed daytime RLS a few months after being diagnosed and, consequently, after starting on
Requip
. At the time I wasn't on this forum and knew nothing about augmentation.

Dyskinesia from pramipexole
She then switched me to ropinirole (
Requip
), which I have been taking for 3 nights. My question is this: How long can I expect the tics to stay around? Won't the ropinirole cause tics too, since it is a similar drug to pramipexole? Thanks!

Feel like a zombie!!
I take
Requip
and have been put on Pregabalin for nerve pain. I am tired all the time and when I asked my GP if I could come off the Pregabalin he suggested Amitriptyline!! What hope do I have when my GP doesn’t know what to suggest? Thanks for all the advice on HAYFEVER.
