I know that you have to titrate up on the dose and I do believe you have to taper off it.

I found that I have better luck with Klonopin as I can play with the dose much easier than I could with Requip.
I have had RLS for 30 years. Yep!!!! The only thing that helps me is Klonopin. I have been everything that has come out with no success and am on Gabitril and Lyrica for Fibro and other neuropathic pain. They don't inpact the RLS. I take just 1 mg daily and take a second one if there is any breakthrough activity. That may happen once or twice a week.
