Don't chop your legs off!!

5 Replies

I had rls for over 20yrs and tried everything. It was only when a new GP I saw who had researched rls prescribed clonazepam 500 microgram per evening gave me almost instant relief

I was lucky to get maybe 1 hours sleep at night and wished I could have my legs amputated

Now for the last 25+ Years I very rarely get a episode

Also my son and daughter suffer as well

Hope this helps someone

Gad you are getting relief with the benzo, others have found them beneficial, have you been on them long?

Bloody hell if I ever find a drug that works for 20 years I'd be delighted, that is great for you.
