    Have severe PLM/RLS. Take 7.5 mg/day. Unfortunately, requip is only marginally beneficial. Published: August 23, 2008 ::

    Requip has given me the relief from RLS I have been unable to find any other place. I tried the generic and it defeated the whole purpose as I would lay there almost all night long, wide awake. I cut the 1 mg pill in half and take with my supper before it gets ahead of me, and then take the other half about 2 hrs later. If by chance I am on an airplane and have to set to long, I will take an extra half earlier. I have been taking this medication about 4 years and it is the first medication that has helped me.

    I take this for Restless Legs Syndrome. It is so much better than have to take the other pills spread out through the day. I would forget and then be miserable. Published: July 12, 2009 ::
