Restless leg syndrome & other symptoms at night

ZackE5 posted:

The past 2 - 3 weeks late at night between 12am & 4am, I begin to have symptoms of restless legs, involuntary movement of arms, hands some turning side to side. I can't sleep, get frustrated, confused why this is happening. I am newly diagnosed (April, 2011). I take Carbidopa25/Levadopa100 twice a day - breakfast & dinner. Does anyone have any ideas as to what/why this happens. Is this common? What to do?

You may need to add a long acting agonist such as requip.
