> I have restless leg syndrome, and AP's are one of the worst things you can take if you have it. So are antihistamines like benadryl. I take Ropinirole(Requip/Repreve) which has worked wonders for it. There is also mirapex and a few other drugs available for it too. Klonopin works fantastic and so does Valium. BUT, talk to your doctor and see if it really is RLS because you have to rule out TD and akathesia. I have to admit it doesn't sound like akathesia to me. Good luck, it has to be one of the most annoying disorders I have ever suffered from. I think you should seriously consider a sleep study too.
Thanks for your post. I have had a sleep study which didn't show any signs of RLS - but I HAVE been treated for bouts of RLS before with Mirapex which really didn't help. I've found that Benzos usually help best with akathasia but not so much with RLS.
I called my doc to ask him what he thought. but whether it be RLS or Akathasia it's MOST uncomfortable. I just don't want tot go off the Abilify because it's helping me so much.
