does magnesium work on an empty stomach, or work better? i dont know if anyone discussed this but i thought id throw it out there.

also, another set of drugs worth trying for RLS is amantadine or parlodel. they both are used in similar situations to levodopa.

so i believe, these drugs and requip are the best in the line of treatment. Mirapex seems a little too stimulating to calm down the restlessness.

I've tried some that no one has even mentioned. I went overseas and tried piribedil, but it was awful and which i believe parallels mirapex in some ways. altho it cut the restlessness it was too stimulating and made my heart race and pound.

like the person said about fruits it is helpful. but also eating fruit on an empty stomach (which most people do anyways), such as a banana can make the nutrients, and serotonin like components of the fruit be absorbed better. You cant sow down a burger fries and coke and go, oh look a banana.
