Book Reviews of Stopping Restless Legs Syndrome
Book Review: Out of date, with potentially harmful information
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is not only out of date, but offers no information that can not be found with a simple internet search.
Having suffered from RLS for years, and having read almost every book I can find on the topic, I'll have to say this is the worst by far.
In my opinion, the book should be pulled from the marketplace as the information on medications for RLS is several years behind and the suggestions made could be harmful to the patient.
These pages of poorly written misinformation were published prior to the discovery that Requip, a common Parkinson's medicine, is highly effective in the ongoing treatment of RLS. I suspect Mr. Cunningham knows this, but is not willing to update his otherwise benign and uninformative ramblings.
One of the drugs mentioned in the book, Klonopin, is an addictive controlled substance that has not been the drug of choice for RLS for at least half a decade. In reviews, a common statement is "everyone who utilizes Klonopin on a long term basis becomes low dose addicted." Any true RLS sufferer knows their condition is long term, and is looking for long term relief that will not leave them narcotic dependent.
This book is a prime example of the author, Mr. Cunningham, preying on the ignorant and those too lazy to do their own research.
