I have been on Requip for several years and have been experiencing rebounding of severe RLS symptoms , always after dinner time. What can be done to alleviate this condition of rebounding?
I'm the type of girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence because of something that happened yesterday.
I am not a doctor but I would think this is something your doctor should know about. It's possible you're showing a tolerance to the medication and as a result, are finding that you are rebounding. The doctor will be able to help you come to a decision about what you can do to avoid this rebounding. Good luck.
Augmentation is not a frequent side effect of requip but it can happen. there are other treatmnt options such as Mirapex, Levodopa, Benzo, and or even Narcotics.
Please consult a sleep medicine specialist.
