I have restless leg syndrome so bad that I cannot sleep well and I MUST walk to get any relief. Mirapex does nothing. Requip works except for the side effects such as naseua, drowsyness, and unfavorable personality and emotional changes. Recently I've found that Neupro (4mg patch) works just fine. It seems important to find the best site for application of the patch. The time to reach maximum benefit also varys.

I was told by my neurologist to stop taking reglan because it was a dopamine antagonist.

Apparently the recall of Neupro has been somewhat mishandled. The company should tell us what they are doing about the problem and if the drug safe is to use. The "crystal leakage" problem seemss to be a mechanical problem rather than biochemical.

I have not heard of Stalevo. Does it work?

HEY THERE HARRY! I GET RESTLESS LEGS AS WELL BUT I DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR IT. SORRY I CANNOT HELP YOU BUT SOMEONE WILL HAPPEN ALONG THAT CAN HELP...I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME YOU TO NEUROTALK!! WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU

Perhaps do a search for things that might be missing in your diet that can help with this. I used to have RLS far worse than I have now. I am on Wheldon/Stratton combined antibiotic therapy about 9 months now & RLS symptoms have lessened.

I also take quite a few supplements.
