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!

I'm actually looking forward to those. I've started playing the lottery and as soon as DH gets home from his business trip...

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....
