I have suffered from "restless leg syndrome" for almost 10 years. This is a condition that affects the legs when you lie down. I tried everything from hot baths, heating pads, muscle relaxers, exercising, etc., & nothing really worked. If I didn't keep moving my legs or flexing my leg muscles, I felt like bugs were crawling on my leg muscles. Finally, my doctor prescribed Requip. It is miraculous. I take it about 4 hours before I go to bed - if I wait too late, it doesn't kick in until hours after I've gone to bed. But when I take it after supper, which I normally do, I can finally go to bed & be assured that my legs will allow me to sleep. I tried the one other drug for this condition, but it didn't seem to work. Requip is definitely a life-saver.
