Dolores,
This is rather old news. I suffer from RLS as well as PD and subscribe to
both listservers. Sinemet is not useful in the long term. After extended
use, there tends to be a "bounce back" of symptoms the next day. Sort of a
ringing effect.
I don't think anyone is using Sinemet for this purpose anymore. Permax is
helpful, as is Neurontin and Klonopin.
I am wondering if Requip will have any effect. I forgot to ask my neuro
when he suggested that I give Requip a try.
