Had to use patches to sort out severe restless legs. I was being woken up hourly and after being monitored I got the diagnosis. Before this I had restless legs rarely while awake. Put on patches, slept better. After 3 weeks had to double the dose. Haven't slept since which is 2 weeks and my legs are getting restless earlier in the evening and they are really painful. I have stopped all patch wearing and will see the doctor next month. Can anyone give me any advice please as I am so tired.
