The Requip worked wonders when I first started taking it...the RLS I'd been suffering from was calmed down. I was on 1 mg/day.
Then the RLS began earlier in the evening, so the neuro upped the dosage to .5 mg in the morning and 1 mg in the evening. The RLS didn't start until around 8 pm.
Now it's starting around 6 pm. I've read that the body builds up a tolerance to the drug...which is what I think is occuring with me.
