Please read the newsletter from the RLS organization. Read about augmentation. This is where the brain responds to the medication by changing the dopamine response making the disease worse.
I too have severe RLS, ended my professional career.
The dopamine agonists were a god send for @3 years then the Augmentation began. Even after stopping the med the symptoms are worse than ever. Not sure if the 3 good years were worth the current status. But no use living in the past.
Some specialists in RLS recommend against ever using the dopamine agonists like Requip or pramipexol.
Read up on this. Discuss with your doctor.
