Wow, I started this thread almost exactly two years ago and just now had a need to come back to it. I've got a little something going on now, but seem to be working through it. The old comments here have been helpful.

Just two points of clarification.

1. I am taking clonazepam for painful RLS (not everyone has pain with RLS). My family doctor says clonazepam is widely prescribed for RLS.

2. My family doctor also says a buildup of tolerance, while a problem with some conditions, is not a problem with RLS.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I see Laurie is not around any longer. I hope she and everyone else are doing well.

(I'll keep this thread bookmarked in case things change for me.)
