Suggest Treatment For Restless Leg Syndrome

I have a severe case of restless leg syndrome and was recently prescribed neurotin. So far it has not helped at all. My doctor has me on a six week program weaning me off Requip. Should I continue? I see no information on line that uses neurotin for rls.

Neurologist 's  Response
Requip (ropirinol) is good medicine for restless leg syndrome. You should take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
Dose can be titrated according to response you get on a particular dose.

Another effective medicine for restless leg syndrome is "Premipexole"
