I had RLS for months. Started taking vitamins and now the RLS is gone.

Hi Omie I have rls and did take requip last year. I never had the hearing problem but had rls 24/7 with requip. Does your dr have alot of knowledge of rls? It is so important to educate yourself before seeing a dr. I know I joined the rls discussion (no charge) and you can go on different forums to find out any info that you are looking for. You can go on rls.org and will give you different links to go to.

Does anyone get headaches from taking Requip?

If you take your requip and it works but then get up in the middle of the night with the RLS, what do any of you do. I have this happen once in a while and last night was really bad. Judy

dopaminergic neurons and fibers have shown to play a role in deafness and Requip is a dopamine agonist so I'm sure that it can intensify your hearing as well. Have you been on it long? Its a med that does take a lot of adjusting, thats why they start you out at the .25 mg and slowly increase the dosing if needed.

Heres an article that talks about dopamine changes in the brain and how it relates to our senses like hearing

I'm awfully tired all the time and in the last couple of months or more, Requip isn't working anymore. I have RLS all day long and the more tired I am the worse it is.

Hi! I take requip,2 at bedtime..it does help,but not to sleep..that is ambien..But to question..I noticed that I have been turning down music,T.V. and I can hear things that I never noticed before..Never thought that meds could do that.

I always get stuffed up when I lay down at night. I didn't think of this being a side effect to requip. Sure wish I could find something that would work for my RLS besides drugs. Thanks for the info.
