I was given this line of treatment for my RLS. I find it very beneficial. I just don't like taking 4 pills thru out the day. They do upset my stomach and I have to eat with the morning dose. I take 1mg tabs q.i.d. It is the medication that has helped me. I can tell if I miss one, I'll suffer for at least 1/2 to an lhr. with unbearable movement of my legs.

My mom,2 brothers and 1 sister also have this but not on a daily basis as mine is. I would suggest to anyone experiencing Restless Leg Syndrome.

Last night was my first night taking Requip .5mg. I only took 1/2 pill then had to take the other half about 1 hr later. Seems to have worked completely but as again, I just started taking it.

I stared out on 2mg of requip for RLS, I also have lupus. I have been on requip for several years. I am now up to 3gm, 1/2 in am and 3 in pm, When I first started I would throw up but I take Phenergan with the Requip.

I stared out on 2mg of requip for RLS, I also have lupus. I have been on requip for several years. I am now up to 3gm, 1/2 in am and 3 in pm, When I first started I would throw up but I take Phenergan with the Requip. About 6 months about I had pain in my lower back, it felt like muscle spasm but I could not sit, stand, lay down. Went to the ER 4 times trying to find out the problem. No one seem to know what it was. This pain was close to childbirth pain, NO JOKE!! I have had that problem on and off. I talk to one of my husband's friends who has had the exact same problem. I am soo glad I talked to him. I never would have imagined that it was the requip, I have also had problems breathing, I used to have 20/20 vision, up until last year, I got glasses due to vision changes, in less than six months, I had to get new classes due to worsening vision. THE MAIN THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT WAS THE BACK PAIN PROBLEM,BECAUSE IF I HAD NOT TALKED TO MY HUSBANDS FRIEND, I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT REQUIP WOULD HAVE DONE THAT AND NO DOCTOR HAS BROUGHT IT UP. SOMETHING I WANTED TO SHARE, SO OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD KNOW.
