    My wife has been diagnosed for 24 years… she was part of the trial on Rytary many years ago and has been on it since. Her neurologist plans on starting her on Crexont in December…. Lately she has had more off times. It’s good news that there are other new drugs to be available.

    I have restless leg syndrome and have been using a small dose - 0.25 - of Pramipexole with success. I take one tablet at bedtime.

      Thanks for your comment! Dopamine agonists can be a good tool for restless leg syndrome, and we're glad you and your care team have found a dose that works well for you!

    Does anyone have a problem with restless leg & if yes what have you found to be helpful?

      Multiple panelists experience restless legs. Some techniques used to try to manage restless legs include massage before bed, prescription sleep aids, melatonin, and use heat pads or warm baths before bed. Some people find benefit from certain dopamine agonists or an extra dose of levodopa before bed, too. Talk with your care team before adjusting any medication or supplement use.
