A Restless Leg Syndrome story

I have had restless legs for many years but only sought help about 3 yrs ago. I started on tramadol which gave good relief but only for 8 months or so and then it stopped working completely. I then reluctantly started on ropinerole 2 yrs ago and 2mg at night worked well for some time. Now i need to take 2 or 3 .5mg during the day (my job is sitting at a desk which makes rls so much worse for me). I have just recently needed to add another .5 at night as i found i was waking earlier and earlier. Starting at 5am for several months, then 4am and just lately 3am. I feel that my rls is quite severe. Even going out to dinner is a challenge for me.
