Restless feet

[Woodsy49]

I’ve had a restless foot all my life and I’m taking amitriptyline 50mg a day if didn’t take them I’d walk the floor all night. I’d love to get an alternative that works without the side effects I sleep all the time I’ve no life, so can anyone help with an alternative please. I’m 69 and would like to enjoy what I’ve got left so please help.

I have had an increase in my codeine phosphate 8 x 25 mg plus 8 x paracetamol I also use CBD oil I gave up the amitriptyline due to weight gain and feeling like a zombie, it’s not ideal but got my life back a bit, there are other sleeping tablets get them changed!!!

I use pramapexole for my restless legs they are great I couldn't live without them. you get them from your doctor. I use the other one for my restless foot they help a bit but I wish I could get a herbal tablet that would do the same as amitriptyline so I wouldn't sleep as much. I wish someone could find out which causes restless feet and do something about it.

no pramapaxole for restless legs and amitriptyline for my restless feet. pramapaxole is great for testless legs. but does anyone know of a herbal tablet that works like amitriptyline

I take pramapaxole and they help with no side effects

Hi i also suffer from restless leg syndrome. Its the worse feeling ever. It stops you from being able to have a sleep. I used to use a scouring pad on my legs then douse them with vinegar ! Just to cause pain so the other feelings would be minimal. Crazy. Then i discovered the medicine pramapexole. What a difference it made to my life. I was on that for a couple of years then it stopped working, so doctor has now given me ropinole.please go to doctors and ask for them.

I came off amitriptyline yes I slept but was a zombie, now taking a natural remedy week 1, called neuro rest from Holland & BARRETT seems to do the trick so far, worth a try ?
