Just diagnosed.

Hi folks, was diagnosed with rls last Friday. Been suffering a while now with a lot of pain. Was given Tramadol 8 tabs per day! I'm not happy taking so many so have cut them down to 4 a day at most. Seem to be helping but they knock me out!

Hi bags I would be worried about that number of tramodol a day,why aren't you on any dopamine meds

Try to get the extended release ones to avoid addiction.

Good to see you are getting relief and having the sense to take as little as possible, I got some great relief from Tramadol without the horrible side-effects of the Dopamine drugs.

If the tabs are 50mg then the 8 would be your daily max and leaves no room to up the dose and no matter what dose you take your body will sooner or later render it less effective so best to stay low for as long as possible so you can increase at a later date.

Welcome to the site btw. There are lots of interesting posts and much learning to be had here - best to swot up a bit and have the knowledge for when you need it. The search engine will see you right.

Take care.
