Leg Shakes

I have Requip to deal with the RLS the first week.  Which is fine, but I don't want to trade in one pill for another and so I stop taking it on Friday.  I understand my leg still shakes at night and i'm okay with that, but the constant shaking during the day...any one has any remendy for this?  I've visited the RLS website and they don't say anything about daytime shakes...I've followed thier plan, taking multivitamins to ease the shaking but it doesn't seem to be working.
It's about 9-10 days..last pill was the Thrusday before Memorial Day.  Does anyone have this problem getting clean from hydros?  I need any help..
Tried exercise...half a mile walk the last few days...eating tons of bananas and popping potasium supplement like it was M&M's.  Please...I haven't been able to sleep since Friday and I can't stop shaking long enough to take any cat naps...I really don't want to take any more medication for this problem...HELP!!!

Calcium, magnesium and potassium all help with muscles. Some here have bought a remedy at the health foods store and have had good success.

Hi Reign-
I didn't have any RLS during the day but I couldn't sleep b/c of it every night.  I don't want to sound negative but it did take a couple of weeks for me (everyone is different).  So did the insomnia.  (For them to get better, I mean)
Initially, it drove me crazy, then I just stopped trying to sleep when I couldn't and enjoyed the extra hours.  I was sleepy a lot during the day but I was able to function ok and made sure that I didn't sleep at all during the day.  I went from 3 hours of sleep to now sleeping 9 hours last night.  
I was like you, I didn't want to trade one pill for another but I did use some of the aminos and some melatonin.  Now I don't need anything and the sleep is fine.  
Be patient, try not to worry and your body will regulate itself in not too much time...
