taking it. I have not been diagnosed with RLS, but sometimes a strange feeling in my legs does wake me. Can anyone with RLS describe the condition to me?
Thanks,
Colleen

Every night when I go to bed my legs twitch and don't stop until valium kicks in is this restless leg syndrome? And I don't know what helps it. Love Phillipa

It's called Requip.
Oddly, it has proven to cause some rare side effects, like:
1) narcolepsy - even a year later with no prior episodes, while walking or driving .. BOOM! fast asleep.
2) compulsive gambling - a significant percentage developed gambling addictions while on this med, which remained unresolved at the publication of the study.
it's an interesting medication.
