Re: New member: Welcome Gloria!

Gloria,

Welcome! You might gradually need more Sinemet and it might end up kicking you

in the you know what; this happened to my Mom, the RLS patient. She had

augmentation or rebound with her RLS symptoms begin much worse but for now it

is working which I am greatful to hear for your sake!

Here some places to check out for good info on RLS and treatments (in doses of

300 mg, even 200 mg of Sinemet, 85% have rebound, a nightmare which I can tell

you having lived through it barely with my mother). There is a lot of help

available!
