I am 59 years old and have had restless legs from the time I was about 7 years old. However, not until I reached my early 50's did it become an every day and night occurrence. I take a combination of carbidopa/levodopa, which treats the symptoms, but it also puts me to sleep. It affects every night of my life. I can't relax and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful summer evenings; I stand when I watch TV; my sex life has been destroyed because I either can't hold still or I'm asleep. I'd like to get off the carbidopa because it augments after a while and requires more and more of it to work. Does anyone have any natural remedies? I also visit the RLS web site often. Research is progressing but not fast enough. Help.
