RLS What works for me.

[tryit]

I was taking Klonopin for years, but for some reason it started giving me a hard time the next day. Headaches, dizzy spells, sleepiness and a general down feeling. I tried everything I knew of with very little relief. I finally settled on Ibuprofen 2ea 200mg 1hr before bed. It works for me, now getting a good nights rest.

Wow, that's a cheap and easy solution. Long may it continue.

Thanks for sharing.

Ibuprofen is a glutamate blocker. I often think it can be a "test" to see if your neurotransmitters are more glutamate over GABA. If you're awake and take an ibuprofen and it makes you drowsy and then sleepy - you are perhaps not balancing GABA (the relaxing neurotransmitter) with glutamate (the excitable neurotransmitter). I can take as little as a half of a 100 mg tablet to get back to sleep. Interesting discussion here, not really RLS, but it gets to the point of Glutamate over GABA... highfivefamilyhealth.com/bl...

Thanks for the reply, don't know if I fully understand. I sleep really well if my legs don't try to jump off my body. 200mg of ibuprofen is best non-prescription that stops RLS.
