restless legs syndrome
"I have had RLS since childhood.  I was on Requip and Gabepentin and the RLS was relieved for a short time  and then returned with a vengence.  My Mother, brothers and sister and grandmother also have it.  I was finally put on Mirapex ER starting at .25 about 6 years ago and am presently on 3.75 mg once a day.  This medication is the only one that pretty much controls the RLS.  I have had no side effects.  Interesting that they say only use immediate release for RLS.  I have been on extended release for 6 years.  I don't know what I will do if this medication stops working as I now have symptoms in my arms and hands.  I am now 67 y/o.
