worsening symptoms of RLS

Posted by Linda on September 17, 2002 at 19:39:36:

I started getting symptoms of RLS about 2 years ago. At first Tylenol 3 would help me, but for the last 6 months or so they don't help anymore so my doctor prescribed Levocarb which is like Sinemet I believe. I take one tablet (10mg) and also I take one or two tablets of Robaxacet( which is for back pain and muscle relaxer) They seem to help when I go to bed, but most times I wake up around 5 a.m. and have to take another one. Also I have very sore legs during the day, pain when I walk stairs or bend down, especially in my knees. Is Mirapex something to try? I hear so much about all these drugs, but are they damaging to the liver? Any ideas?
