"I am a 73-year-old male. I have suffered from periodic leg movement most of my life. Lately, it has been getting worse to the point that it could take me hours to fall asleep. In addition to that, I have been having nightmares in which I try to protect myself from some threat. My defense was to punch my wife on the arm. I have also experienced sleepwalking. I had been taking to sleeping in the spare bedroom so that my wife could get some sleep. This was not a solution that suited either one of us. When I began taking Requip, I experienced relief from the very first night. I now routinely sleep the whole night through without nightmares or restless legs/periodic limb movement."

"Was it multiple sclerosis fatigue? I thought I was stuck with awful 24/7 sleepiness and waking up as tired. Three months ago, I was relieved after 15 years by Ropinirole, the very first dose, after a new doc asked if anyone had ever mentioned me twitching at night. Try it. It might be your miracle too! I feel like me twenty years ago."

"Requip takes away violent, uncontrollable kicking, punching, sudden tightening of any muscle. Works like a miracle for me. My condition has become a nightmare over the years. In higher doses now, sound seems amplified. But as long as that torture stops...it's okay! I hear 'RLS.' RLS is nothing compared to whole body violently jerking. J.M.O."

"It did reduce my tremors the first day. However, it made me a little nauseous. I would have to lay down because of the drowsiness. It put me in a depressed mood. I will only take it on occasion for disabling tremor episodes. Because the side effects prevent me from being active, I don't consider this treatment a success."

"This medication actually worsened my symptoms, and the MD kept raising the dose until I had symptoms during the day. Then she finally listened to me and took me off this medication."

"I was given this med for RLS/PLM. This medication kept me up most of the night with a bucket to vomit into. Hummm.... Which to choose, RLS/PLM vs. severe nausea/vomiting?"
