Started taking 1 mg at night for RLS. I had been walking the floor at night. It began working immediately. It typical kicks in after 1 1/2 hours. I sleep well again. I do have some tightness and stiffness in my legs. I will keep taking and go to the gym

I have been on this pill for 1 week. I keep waking up it does not help my RLS. What I have found is that this medicine makes me paranoid that someone is breaking into my house or that I am going to die in my sleep. The first day I tried this drug it made me feel like I was floating out of my body. I will no longer take this drug anymore and I feel it would be in the best interest for the makers of ...

This medicine has the complete opposite effect on me. I started out at .5mg and once it started working, I felt great. After about a week, I started feeling worse. My doctor up'd my dosage and it is even more worse. I feel the need to move my legs and arms all day long. I no longer sleep well. Have others experienced this? I am asking my doctor to take me off of it. It is horrible. :(

I was diagnosed with RLS over 10 yrs. ago and was taking the lowest dose available. Over time, it became necessary to increase the dosage. I started taking Ropinerole about 5 yrs. ago and it has been very effective. I was taking two 4mg doses every night but I now take only one dose and if needed I take an additional dose during the day. My RLS is pretty much under control as long as I take the ...

I've been taking this for about 3 months. Started off with 1 mg. at bedtime. Not very effective. Doubled dosage then had 'rebound' symptoms (?). I now take 2 mg early in the afternoon for rls and 2 mg. at least an hour before bedtime. Perfect! Seemed to increase symptoms but keeps them completely under control.
