There's info here on what's happening to you: http://www.rlshelp.org/ You're going through rebound. It's an increase in RLS symptoms. It can be quite bad from what I was reading. I was taking Mirapex for RLS and before that and currently Tramadol which helps both the PN and RLS. I'm hoping that by now that you found some relief.

thank you for the website. I read some stuff in it, bookmarked it and other websites.

I don't know about "rebound" one way or another. That could be it.

It is bad. I have taken 6mg of a ReQuip generic and that worked once. Anything less at one time does not work. 6mg made me sick for about 6-8 hours, then the RLS went away for about 12 hours. I felt like I had some bad flu. I have a new prescription for the real thing.
ReQuip, not the generic. My alternative is an opiate.

Mirapex and Tramadol did not work for me. Thanks for the kind words about relief. I just realized I am raising my right foot up and dropping it to the floor. Over and over. A sign my legs are at it again. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

One person told me the generic does not work for him, only ReQuip itself. Sooooooooo I will go get the real thing tomorrow. Thanks again......
