Restless Leg Syndrome-anyone find and medication that actually WORKS?

Question

I am NOT talking about medications they give that do not work, such as REQUIP!

Answer 1

Try a Yahoo search for "restless leg syndrome" + treatment (OR cures OR remedies) and see what you get.

You are probably deficient in potassium, calcium, magnesium or Vitamin B6.

Answer 2

Requip is the only FDA approved medication for RLS at the moment. Sorry.

Answer 3

You got two good answers, both are as effective as I know of. I have, as well, and since pot makes me paranoid, [ couldn't even handle it when I was a freak in the sixties,] try the volerian,and I think we are both mis-spelling it. Available at healthfood section of drug stores, or a better grade at health food stores. Otherwise, you can do what I do, dance half the night away getting my legs to settle down. Zinc helps some , too. You should check with your doctor to rule out an artery problem.

Answer 4

You didn't say what dosage of requip. I was on 100mg twice a day. I take Vicodine now but, that's a different story.

Answer 5

I understand your frustrations, I went through 3 medications until I was prescribed Lyrica. I take 75mg 3 times per day and the RLS is gone completely.

Answer 6

MARIJUANA....i'm not being a smartass.....really try it. It works. The oldest most benefitial medication on the planet is not made in a lab....it is a gift from God Almighty

Answer 7

if you have tried requip,, are you sure you were getting the right dosage??? i use it, and they had to up the dosage, and it works great for me!!

Answer 8

I was diagnosed with RLS as part of my diabetes

Answer 9

Valerian helps *(but it tastes lousy)
