Guest guest Posted December 17, 1998 Report Share Posted December 17, 1998 Dr. Levin, I have begun to wonder about my RLS. I am taking Sinemet 25/100 at night about 7 p.m. My legs start to bother me about 8 or 9 p.m. for an hour or so. Does everybody have this even taking medication? I tried to take it before RLS hits but I do not succeed. I have some pain but when it first started years ago, I described it as my legs would not relax. I had it occasionally when trying to sleep but it is every night now when I am sitting still. It seems to help to lay down. As I said, this seems weird to me and not the way I understand it described by others. Should I try to change medications or is this normal? Lila, in Tennessee, snow flurries today. LHarri9073@...
