Dr Buchfuhrer is Awesome!
After suffering for years with RLS that went into augmentation I found out about Dr Buchfuhrer and set up a visit. I’ve seen multiple neurologists, and GPS who did their best to help me. No one could help. In fact it only got worse because they increased requip and then The Neupro patch to levels that

Artificial sweetened Cola drinks rapid relief?
Hi, i was dx with PD in 2014, and started out with selegilin and Requip (dopamin agonist), later adding L-DOPA (Madopar/Sinemet) and entakapon. Altogether enabling me to work full time, and I am convinced this would not be possible without such a «cocktail». Still, episodes of fatigue with loss

improving sleep quality
I was introduced to a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who treats insomnia a couple of months ago. The protocol is referred to as "CBTI". It's a little deceiving in that the main components or tools are not related to the thought reframing common in CBT. There is that component but the main components

Just a little about me, diagnosed June 2016, started with sinemet 100mg three times a day, now three years later meds look like this. Sinemet 250mg four times a day, requip 2mg once daily extended release. Having problems with dyskinesia, bad leg and foot cramps, will be seeing a new neurologist in October

Couple of questions please :)

Watchdog sues FDA for dragging its feet on Parkinson's drug warnings
Moving the FDA's gears can be a lengthy process, particularly when it comes to citizen petitions. But after waiting two and a half years for regulators to stiffen impulse-control warnings on dopamine-driving Parkinson's drugs, one watchdog group ran out of patience. Public Citizen sued the agency Monday

How are people dealing with symptoms in the evening/getting to sleep?
I'm recently diagnosed, looking to avoid using sleep meds but my left hand, lower left leg and my left foot get really electrified and it makes it really hard to get to sleep. I take my last dose of Sinemet around 8pm but it typically doesn't touch these evening symptoms. I was prescribed Remeron,

Gabapentin augmentation??
I just joined this forum. I have had RLS for about 40 years. I have experience augmentation with Requip. I have been taking gabapentin for about ten years. Has anyone experienced augmentation with gabapentin? If so, did you stop the gabapentin? Did you increase your dose?
