About to cut off my legs

Absolutely, 100%, insanely, adamantly, fearfully, every other adjective that applies here--cannot express to you how awful this medicine is. A lot of people say that it works for their condition, but it made my RLS twice as bad, and screwed up my kidneys when I tried to stop, on top of altering my brain chemistry. It made my partner near suicidal.

Please, please, for the love of all, don't take this medicine without first reading about how your body could potentially respond to it both during and after taking it. This is one of the scariest drugs out there on the market and is usually pushed by doctors as cure-all, of which it is most definitely not. But it does give them a good bit of money if they can prescribe it for as many people as possible.
