I did try baclofen many years ago but at that time I don't think that it really helped me. I don't believe it is widely used in RLS treatment though I am just a fellow sufferer not an expert and your doctor would know best.

I hope that it works for you. It must be very difficult but I have the same problem with insomnia and it is rotten. Please let us know how you get on.

Have you tried fentanyl patch. You can start at 12 and eventually go up to 25 and then 37. Worked like magic for me but had to take an anti- depressant along with it as it is a depressant. Not everyone on it gets the same side affects but I do get depressed so am on Paxil with the fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a complete no no. It is only now prescribed for end of life. What ever you do, DO NOT take Fentanyl for anything. I was on 50mg for 5 years it took 6 months and Oramorph to withdraw from it. I have not slept at night sine February
