Lidocaine Suppositories

[ArtIsMagic]

I’ve had RLS for many years. My wife and I were brainstorming and nailed down the area where the RLS seemed to originate. Consulted with our doctor and gave a prescription to our formulating pharmacist. He put together 200mg lidocaine suppositories and they did the job. I believe he used lidocaine powder.

How long have you been using them?

Glad you got relief.

[ArtIsMagic in reply to Hidden]

I’ve been using them about ten years now.

Are you using these suppositories on a everynight basis. Wondering if effectiveness might lessen with regular usage. I am interested in this idea since I'm tryin to come off pramipexole for rls and nerve/leg pain.

[ArtIsMagic in reply to RWick]

I use them nightly along with pramipexole

[RWick in reply to ArtIsMagic]

Thanks for your post looking into this with my doctor. Stayed tuned

Just a clarification - I take a very low dose of pramipexole for the nightly urge to move legs (which works) but a side effect produces nerve ache/pain that radiates to lower back/legs keeping me awake. Working now on a solution for this after trying lots of pain medications/supplements. Hoping to get off of pramipexole entirely.

You mention in reply to Rwick that you use them nightly along with Pramipexole. Pramipexole is a dopamine agonist used to treat RLS. Didn't the pramipexole stop the RLS?

[ArtIsMagic in reply to Joolsg]

Usually pramapexole does the trick but, there can be some further kicking.

Hi ArtisMagic

Have you tried them without combining them with Pramipexole?

Best,

Dim.

[Hidden in reply to dimpep]

Yeah I'd be interested in that, also do you find that there is any change your urinating habits after taking the suppositories?

[ArtIsMagic in reply to Hidden]

None
