I have RLS. Sometimes when it happens, I have to get up, walk around, have a snack, it’s the distraction that helps I think. Drinking tonic water also helped as it contains Quinine. I’m on Clonazepam and sometimes take an extra dose if symptoms are bad. Only happens at night and only rarely now. I saw Neuro for headaches and falling down but not RLS. Headaches and falling were medication related. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with RLS....getting up & walking will help, & so will a snack. Sometimes those help for awhile but it doesn’t always last. Drinking tonic water has helped so many people, but it hasn’t me. Interesting how different we all are isn’t it? I didn’t know About the connection between Falling and Neupro....thank you for sharing that info. I heard about that medicine from someone else who had success, so I asked my doctor about it. I know that it also has a side effect of needing to take more to get the same results after a period of time. That happened with Requip for me so I am holding my breath that it doesn’t happen with this medication. So far I’ve experienced some dizziness at the beginning, but I haven’t had any incidents of falling. I’m glad to know about it though So that if it occurs I’ll know what the cause is. Again thank you very much.
