Screening questions to identify augmentation in patients on dopaminergic therapy for RLS[1]
  • Do RLS symptoms appear earlier than when the drug was first started?
  • Are higher doses of the drug now needed, or do you need to take the drug earlier in the day to control symptoms?
  • Has the intensity of symptoms worsened since starting the drug?
  • Have symptoms spread to other body parts (eg, arms) since starting the drug?
RLS: restless legs syndrome.
