Jumpin Bean. To answer you as simple as I can... YES! Sinement made my RLS worse. The pain got so bad it was like pouring gas on a fire. I now take Horizant and can rest and sleep without pain for the first time in over twenty years. I also take Klonipin to calm down the jerking. I hope this helps and I hope you find relief.

You say you where on Sinemet for 12 years didn't the Dr. tell you you need to switch meds occassionally because Sinemet can cause symptems to worsen.
Mine did and I switched Dr.'s till I found one who would give me all the Sinemet I wanted because I thought it was the best treatment untill I reached the point of total madness of having to take at least 20 per day and still having trouble and now trying to switch I'm finding the only thing that will come even close to relieving is Oxycodone [opium] highly addictive combined with gabapentin.
my advice to anyone is to switch meds about every 3 years .
Thanks for your answer Bebe1964
