I have been taking this for RLS since it first came out as ReQuip.. I really have gotten some sleep if I take it at night when you go to bed. Now, it isn't working very well any longer. I have had RLS since 1991, after I had major bowel surgery(a sigmoidectomy) and it came on with a vengeance. I tried the quinine treatment, with no results, and found an article called "Walking IN Your Sleep" and took it to my then doc. She put me on the suggested medication, clonazepam. I started out on a .25mg dose and as the years passed it got up to 4.mg. at bed time, even though I was supposed to have it in the day time also and it helped with panic attacks.
The Requip was the next step, but after all this time on it, it too has stopped working for me.

Pros

Did help me with sleep problems

Cons

does not help any longer and since it is a dopamine re-uptake inhibitor, I do not want to take more and I am tired of the side effects. swelling, dry mouth, loss of libido

Because of my Parkinson's I take this 2-3 times a day to keep down leg cramps. Works great.

I have been wondering about this medication. First time I heard of it was on TV. Glad to see it works for some people. Having restless legs is terrible.
