Has anyone ever experienced Augmentation in restless leg syndrome? This is where levadopa or dopamine agonists make restless leg syndrome worse. I my case I started having burning and crawling in arms and legs when being treated by levadopa. I have tried Gabapentin with limited effect and Neupro (agonist) made symptoms unbearable. If I were to come off of Levadopa, my PD symptoms would return (mainly stiffness).
It seems that I have to have PD symptoms or severe restless leg symptoms. I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience?
