Doc,
I have had severe RLS and PLM for as long as I can remember. Once I found a sleep disorder clinic I went through many drugs, alone and in combination to allow me to even lay down at night.
Before Requip was FDA approved for RLS my doc put me on it in combination with Klonipin. Requip alone has an extremely good outcome for many.
What a miracle!!!!!!!!! I take my meds one hour prior to bedtime and off I go to dreamland. I still move my legs a lot but there is no pain or waking up because of it.
Thank God for modern medicine. Standing up to sleep is something that some animals do........... not humans.
