I take Sinemet four 25/100 and one Sinemet-CR 25/100 a day and have also been taking Requip 2mg three times a day. I was diagnosed with RLS after I had been taking this combination for quite a while. Obviously Requip did nothing for the RLS. My dr. prescribed Clonipin and it seems to help most of the time. I was very surprised when I saw the ad on TV hawking Requip for RLS. Maybe it does help some, I hope.

I was diagnosed with RLS a few years before being diagnosed with PD. Requip has helped my PD symptoms some...but it has done little for my RLS. Of course, there's always a dosage increase. (I'm only on 5 ml a day when I should be on 7 - 10 at the least.) Increasing always makes me too tired and I've even had a few fainting spells when I've tried to increase beyond 5. I'm 36-years-old with a son (age 9) and a daughter (age 15) and I just don't have time to be that tired. So, my symptoms (both PD and RLS) could probably lesson if I'd give in more easily to increases when told.
