Thank you both for your insight. I agree Liz, when you read that literature that comes with the medication it is scary. I wish my doc never gave it to me b/c I feel like I need it now and that scares me. On the other hand the pharmasist told me she takes it for restless leg and I only take 50mg once a day. She said it's such a small amount, not to worry. Also, I talked to 2 family docs at my practice and they both know how much I'm taking and for what and are both fine with it. I think I'm trying to make myself feel better but I know I would rather not take it at all.

And to further complicate things...I'm hoping to get pregnant in the near future and I obviously can't take it then. I don't know what I will do. Anyone who has restless leg knows how terrible it is. It is SO uncomfortable....

Rob....I know they say it is narcotic like but is not actually a narcotic...I think anyway.

Thanks again


Suzanne
