Burning From Requip (Top voted first)

I started Requip 5 days ago. My Nuerologist put me on it because my body shakes and jerks and I drop things. I have SLE Lupus, Carpel Tunnel in both arms, wrists and hands. Rhumatoid Arthritis, Seronegative Arthritis, Osteoarthritis. He diagnosed with me Psoriatic Arthritis Friday. My skin started burning the second night. On a scale of 1 to 10 I am a 7-8 everyday. Does anyone elses body jerk? Did you get put on Requip for anything els besides RLS? He says it's similar but my whole body has it. chest arms legs, face and I am wondering if this will go away?

Jerking can be a symptom of such conditions, as well as a side effect of this medication, according to FDA reports, and yes, this medication is often used to treat other conditions as deemed appropriate by your doctor. It has also been known to cause burning, tingling and numbness.

Such side effects should improve and go away, once your body gets used to a medication, but that may take 4 to 5 weeks.

How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?

Yes thanks for asking. The jerking and shaking has gotten about 75% better. I am so happy it helped. The burning feeling stoped about the 7th day. I also had a pain medicine change so that helped also.
