Restless Legs Syndrome

[midnight56]

About two months I've been dianosed with RLS. My question that I also suffer from weight loss,also. Is this normal with RlS. I'm new to RlS, and still learnindg about RLS. I'm on Requipp, and suffer from no side effects at all, but my nights only consists of two hours sleep a night, sometimes the medicene works for me, and sometimes it don't. Forgive my spelling if I blew it.

I have RLS but am overweight and have trouble losing weight. My guess is that your RLS and loss of weight are unrelated. Mirapex did not help my restless legs symptoms at all. Good luck in finding a solution

since my rls has been worse, sometimes preventing sleep for days, i have lost about 30 kilo's of weight in about 18 months without trying to lose weight. I guess since my body is working for 48 hours with no rest, and only eating for 24 hours of activity, something had to give. I thought i only suffered these combination of symptoms????

clonazepam, when the government allows me to get more, works well for me, but i require about double the normal dose, odd considering i weigh only 74 kilo's now
