[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 158632"] Restless leg can manifest in many different ways, but really the hallmark is the irresistible need or urge to move the legs. Mirapex and Requip can have some pretty nasty side effects, including uncontrollable gambling and sexual impulses. With your history of BiPolar (BP) and Borderline (BPD), I don't know that I would want to start with one of those drugs. They're actually Parkinson's drugs that were FDA approved for RLS...so they're pretty heavy duty drugs. I had to leave for a bit, but I'm going to do some more research on neuropathy. My neuropathy doesn't hurt - it just causes numbness/tingling and weakness - so I don't have first hand experience with the pain part. Although what I have in my legs seems more like a neuropathy to me because it's like all the nerves in my calves are standing on end. It's not painful, per se, just too much sensation....makes me want to come out of my skin. Have you been tested for diabetes, by the way? [/QUOTE]
