Lightbulb My Take

I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and all except the last 4 months have been taking Requip and then Mirapex. Mirapex was terrible with anxiety as the side affect so was about to switch back to Requip when I stumbled onto a remidy for my symptoms. It is a mega multivitamin/mineral supplement, not allowed to say which, but within 2 weeks of taking it it reduced my symptoms to practically none. I have stopped taking the pharma's for about 4 months now and I have to say I don't miss them. This supplement is working better than either drug did with no side affects. Now this is where what I have read departs from my solution. Most people are finding good results in iron sup's, but my neutricuticle as it's called vs a pharmacuticle, has no iron in it. It does however have large quantities of practically everything else though it seems. I have to agree with the comments that say alcohol makes it worse. I gave up drinking even now because my legs go nuts with just one beer. It isn't worth it!

Question

Does the multivit/min have calcium and magnesium in it? If so what type of calcium and how much of each? I can't take iron, it caused so much abdominal pain I was actually given a colonoscopy to see if anything else was wrong, which showed nothing. I too cannot have alcohol or caffeine because it causes RLS to be so much worse. Thanks.

Yes it does contain calcium as calcium gluconate 400mg or 40% and magnesium as magnesium citrate 3mg or 150%. Anything else?
