Quote:
The truth is, some of the most common, most effective drugs, including ropinirole and pramipexole, which was recently approved to treat restless leg syndrome, may only work effectively for each person for a limited time," Kurlan said. "After that, this class of drugs � albeit the most-popular, effective, and the only one approved by the Food and Drug Administration for restless leg syndrome� has a regrettable tendency to turn traitor. The medicine can actually begin to worsen symptoms."
""Ultimately, there is hope for those who suffer from restless leg syndrome," Richard said. "But until there�s an effective drug we can use long term without interruption, for many patients hope lies in a merry-go-round of medications, not a single drug. Patients and physicians must be braced for this.
