I have restless legs syndrome. I don t drink, smoke, or eat chocolate. I m currently taking requip 3mg tabs, 1 1/2 tabs per day. I m getting breakthrough symptoms during the day. I ve just had my 4th lumbar back surgery so my exercise will gradually pick up in the coming weeks. The RLS is making me miserable almost round the clock. I m pacing the floor as I type this. I ve tried Gabapentin in the past and it actually worsened my symptoms. The same thing happened with Neupro patches.
