Here's an article about it I found on Webmd.

http://www.webmd.com/brain/features/...-legs-syndrome

It does talk about after a while the symptoms getting worse.

That's exactly what happened to me. It worked in the beginning, then stopped working. I had to keep upping the dose. So I went back to Klonopin. It works a whole lot better and you can play with the dose...up and down with no problems. And you can take it at will...no tapering or titrating. ;)

And it doesn't have the same side effects as Requip...you know like gambling and sexual side effects! :eek:

yep,I first was put on it for muscle spasms. And the sleep study I did showed that I Had RLS to begin with.
It has helped somewhat for the muscle spasms in my arms,and the leg charley horse feeling in my legs,and feet cramps.

ok,Im adding something ,
I started the "have to move my arms" thingy as one of my first sx at onset of ms,
Then that went away after about a month.
Then did the sleep study,and they found that i have RLS in my legs,then I brought the muscle spasm thing up to my neuro and she did the dose pack thingy U guys were talking about.
Ive been on requip for a year,and I started to have 3 nites a week with the feeling bleeding trough the requip.
Which sucked too. NOTHING I did made it go away. So,my neuro told me to start my neurontin back,and see what happenes. I did,I was taking 1,200 mgs after my last flare,but now Im just on 900 mgs at night. I still maybe will Have 1 night a month,instead of 3 nights a week.
So I think the combo of the requip and the neurontin has something to do with everything calming down.
but the idea of after a while it stops to work as good really makes since....
