I’m going to try this , too. Thank you! I took Ropinirole for 3 years. It is known to cause odd addictions such as gambling or sex. Without realizing what was happening, I spent almost 30% of my retirement funds on shopping!!!! Then I switched to Sinemet which does not work as well to stop the RLS and it causes dopamine related personality changes. I would be thrilled to find an alternative. May I ask if you have RLS every night or just occasionally? I now have it every time I am prone for more than a few minutes, day and night.

I have the cramping in feet and calves almost every night. It's rare occasion to sleep through the night without it.

Thank you for your post. It answered a lot for me. I've been taking Ropinorole for over a year and your post explained some issues for me such as strange addictions like spending. I suffer with it nightly and anytime if I sit in a recliner or just in prone position. I have not has anything else that helps.
