The answer to this question is ... "USUALLY."
I was certain when I first started promoting "An ABSOLUTE Cure for RLS" that it wasn't going to work for people who were still taking RLS or sleep medication(s). This includes all the usual suspects including Requip, Mirapex, Sifrol and of course Ambien.
The RLS medications are powerful and often unpredictable. I didn't think that they would allow the healing process to begin unhindered.
It turns out that I was quite wrong.
I'm not a doctor (as is pointed out to me daily) and was assuming that these heavy medications would not allow Nature to work its wonders - to allow the inflammation to begin healing.
From the feedback I've been getting over the last few years, it's clear that the anti-inflammatory diet DOES work for MANY people still taking their RLS meds.
I can't say it will work for every one of course, I'm sure there are some exceptions. These medications are often quite erratic in the way they act. You only have to go on a RLS discussion board to find out how various drugs and dosages affect different people in different ways.
For our purpose, the key is that IT'S VERY LIKELY that a strict anti-inflammatory diet (avoiding all the main RLS triggers) will work for you and bring you some relief ... even if you continue on with your medication(s).
When it comes to antidepressants, anti-anxiety or ANY other type of medication, I have absolutely no idea whether the anti-inflammatory method will work for you. You'll have to research that on your own.
Here are a few testimonials from people that have had great success with the anti-inflammatory diet while still taking meds.

"You're the best! David, I'm the happiest I have ever been. I have faith again...and feel I am doing something for the first time that is actually good for me. No quick fix. A real lifestyle change. My husband sees the difference in me and is happy he seems to be getting his wife back. I had begun to be very negative, irritable and joyless all the time. I am so grateful for all I have learned from you (I know you probably are modest and won't take all the credit...but you should...because you shared something freely...that is beginning to change my life.) I'm excited for the future. Thanks for the encouragement too...it really helps!" - Lisa Wilson, Simi Valley, CA

"You said I should let you know how I do with my pretest. Well, after about 2 1/2 weeks, I am down to about half my normal Miripex dose!! I take a slow-release dose of 0.375 mg around 2pm, and previously would need one to three doses of 0.125 mg of quick release to get through the evening, if you can call falling asleep from the sedative effects of the drug by 8pm an evening! Now I have had pretty quiet legs and can stay awake till a normal time. What can I say? I will continue, and add more of the supplements. It is obviously working. I have an appointment with my neurologist soon, and I'm thinking what a hoot it might be to report this to him. Of course, the best response would be for him to drop his jaw and demand to hear all about it, but more likely it will be one of those "Oh, I see, so you probably imagined your illness and are enjoying a nice placebo effect from this method." kind of reaction. Anyway, I am not expecting perfect, smooth sailing very day, but I do have a very real, wonderful hope for relief that wasn't there before, and no matter how far this goes, whether or not I end up cured or not, I thank you SO MUCH for all your work and devotion to this cause. I am a strong Christian, and consider you part of God's answer to my prayers for help with this miserable ailment." - Nadine A. Waukesha, WI

"Dave, I just had to let you know that you've changed my life. My words can't express how I feel. I can't thank you enough! It's only been about 3 weeks and my legs are in amazing shape. I stopped taking Requip after about 8 days. I'm telling everyone I know about it. My wife has fibromyalgia and she's going to try out your remedy as well. The drugs she's using now are so powerful she can only go on them for a short while. I'll keep you posted! Thanks again!" - Marty Krais, Brooklyn, NY

David, "Thank you very very much for sharing your knowledge with all of us RLS sufferers around the world. The carrot juice cure really works! I still take 0,18 mg of Sifrol per evening, but I am now symptom free. Before the carrots juice I had to go every evening through a one or two hour leg itching suffering, even with the Sifrol. You substantially improved my live! Thank you!" - Guy Koekelbergh, Belgium

"I recently gave up coffee and all sugar (one month ago) and it has helped my RLS a lot. I have reduced my Levodopa by 50%. One week ago I started having serious green juices twice a day (8 ounces of spinach, carrot, ginger, celery, dandelion greens, etc) and I think that is helping also. The work you have done, the research and the website - not to mention the insight that RLS is caused by inflammation - my hat is off to you. Really incredible!" - James Carouba, Costa Rica
