What should I do about RLS symptoms?!


Question:

What should I do about RLS symptoms?

I am 21 years old and went to a neurologist and he said that I had RLS and prescribed me Mirapex. So far it seems to be working at night but I have noticed during the day I have trouble keeping still. I continuously have been moving around to ease the feeling I have. I also have noticed that this has gotten a little worse in the past year. I am planning on talking about this with my doctor next week.


Answers:

I have had RLS for 20 years. I also take Mirapex for it, it works great. If you have the symptoms during the day, you need to take Mirapex during the day too.
I take it 3 times a day because I had it all day long, so the Neurologist upped my Mirapex to 1.5MG 3 times a day. Now I have no symptoms. The only down side is the enormous cost of this stuff!
Requip is a new RLS drug, but it's only for bedtime. I can't be switching to that.
