    What are sifroll tablets and where do you get them ? I don't know about the pepper as I don't eat hot food you'll have to try it and let us know 

    I am on mirrapexin from the doctor but I am now using 3 of the 24 hour release 0.26 g tablets every day and small 0.088 gm ones in the gaps in between when I wake up in the night or when I feel the others wearing off

    I don't want to up the dose amount yet reaserch said ideal thing is to change medication to something else for a while then go back to original one as the body gets used to the medicatin and it stops working so good unless you increase the dose I am only 55 I could live til I am 100 so don't want to use all my dosage options and be left with nowhere to go

      Do you think it's the quinine in the tonic water, Salome?

      I would give that a go if it works. smile

      My Mother had RLS, and I have had it for about 15 years. Joy! sad
