Restless Legs Syndrome
"I have had restless legs syndrome for approximately 8 yrs.  At first I did not know what it was.  It would get so bad, that if I tried to suppress my leg movements, my arms, hands and head would start to shake(jerk). A friend who has RLS, told me I had RLS also.  I went to the doctor and he did not do any test, just my symptoms.  He started me out on Requip 0.25 mg that did not work.  He kept increasing the dose till I had some relief.  Than my symptoms started showing back up mid day. So than I was to take 1 in the morning (1 mg) and 1 at night.  Than it went to my present dose of 1  in the a.m. and 2  in the p.m. of the 1 mg tablet.  He has since prescribed more tablets per month and I take 1 to 2 tabs in a.m. and 2 tabs at night. That doesn&#039;t always work."
