> one of the worst offenders as with anti histamines which are similar
That's interesting. The soon-to-be-ex Mrs Sad was hitting the antihistamines over the Summer for hay fever which could have made her RLS worse.
I wonder if it's because some of them are also weak SRI's?
> then again DA's, like Mirapex and Repreve/Requip can cause augmentation down the track and end up making it worse
That's a bit worrying considering dopamine agonists are the most commonly prescribed meds for RLS!
What do you mean by "cause augmentation down the track"?
> Opiates are also excellent but like the benzos are addictive.I was interested to read that the other day.
Maybe it's because opiates cause (I believe) dopmamine release through a glutamate-mediated mechanism.
