Hi -- I'm on day four, have lost six pounds, no problems so far with my gallstones that I can tell, still not sleeping well but I can live with it I guess for now, but -- I have restless leg syndrome and take Requip for it. Yesterday the RLS got 10 times worse than I've ever had it --can't sit still at any time without my legs twitching constantly and the most awful feeling in my back and legs. I'm taking Basic #3, Dieter's Advantage, and Essential Oils. I think it's probably the Dieter's Advantage, and I stopped it last night. I called a bunch of numbers trying to find out if Requip and DA don't go together, with no answers. Has anyone else had this problem? And will I continue to do well without taking the Dieter's Advantage, if that turns out to be the problem?

Thanks for any responses.

I'm not sure, but I think Dieter's Advantage is just a vitamin isn't it? It might have additional chromium in it. (chromium will help with cravings)

Some people have good results taking calcium/magnesium an hour before going to bed 600/300. You can also take it in the morning.

I have heard that B-50 tablets 3x daily helps tremendously. Not being a DR. I can't vouch for this, but if it were me, I'd forget the other vitamins for a few days and try this. What ever way you go, good luck!!

my legs used to do that, Dr told me to take potassium supplements..

I take potassium for other reasons, but definitely calcium/magnesium helped this restless legs thing for me.
Hope it helps, Jay

if you happen to be on blood pressure medication do not take potassium supplements without checking with your doctor
