For Restless Legs Syndrome "Didn’t notice a change in RLS, but after trying at 0.5 mg a few different times, I noticed it was causing terrible depression. Every time I try it, the depression hits me the next day and gets worse. Maybe it’ll go away after a while, but I’m not waiting! The depression it gave me was terrible."

For Periodic Limb Movement Disorder "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."
