Well, I am trying to treat it along with my tremors and restless leg syndrome (both of which are seriously bothered by all of the meds I take) with a neurologist and my psychiatrist in tandem. So far I have tried Mirapex (a parkinson's disease drug that does something or other with dopamine), which was pretty good, but after three days I had CRAZY visual hallucinations...I have never done LSD or Mushrooms or anything like that, but I imagine that this is what it must be like. Everything was flowing and twisting and different colors.....okay, back to the topic now. After that I tried Requip, which is in the same class as Mirapex, but it did not do a single thing for me (no effects and no side-effects). The next alternative will either be mysoline (which appearantly turns into phenobarbitol in your system or something like that) which is what my neurologist wants me to take, or Valium, which my psychiatrist would rather I take. They are currently "conferencing" on this issue and together they will decide by next week, when I have my next neuro appointment.

I'll let you know what they decide and how it's going...either drug they perscribe will start working right away so it will be easy to tell.

Best of luck to you,
Dane =)
