Tablets changed RLS worse

[FLAME43]

My doctor changed my tablets from Zopidane ( left a terrible taste in my mouth) but got a good night's sleep, to Promethazine, and have had very restless nights and legs since this change, I have halved the prempexole, and take two a night, (was on 6 a day), along with a pill to help with sleep. Can anyone tell me, if this new pill agitates my RLS

Yes- it is one of the baddies.

Check on rls-uk.org or

For lists of medications to avoid and substitutes.

Big mistake, I know the Zopiclone/Zomovane can leave a horrible taste but it is minor problem when you factor in the sleep. The other is a sedative antihistamine and a real pain in the @ss, legs, back, etc.

You don't mention if its after you take it or the next day but some tips are:

Don't chew it.

Try it with/without food

Chewing gum will help with the taste.

Maybe alter the time at which you take it.

You could always try Zolpidem/Stilnoct or Temazepam instead but imho I'd stick with the Zimovane and get me a couple of packs of gum.
