Restless Legs Syndrome
"I&#039;m 61 and started getting RLS symptoms during my 30&#039;s, starting as just tingling and progressing over the years into full blown leg kicking. It would start every evening while watching tv, or any time I was sitting for more than an hour -- in the movie, on an airplane, etc. Previous doc had me on klonipin, but current doc said (generic) Requip is a better as the side effects for long term use are supposedly less. I&#039;ve been on .25 mg for only two months, but the kicking seldom even starts now. I even forgot to take it one night. I have noticed some insomnia, but that isn&#039;t new for me. I&#039;ve been taking a Benadryl at night; that seems to help. I&#039;ve not had any nausea or other symptoms. Fingers crossed that I don&#039;t have to keep upping the dose"
