Has anyone experienced unexplained significant weight loss either from eliminating DAs or from getting iron infusions?
I started having unexplained weight loss last Fall. I've gone from 205 lbs to 170 since September 2018 (I may have leveled off now at ~170). I had an iron infusion in August 2018 and another in December 2018. (Both have really helped with RLS.) Then I eliminated all DAs starting in October 2018 and finishing in February 2019.
During this time, I also introduced and gradually increased methadone up to my current level of 15 mg. to replace the dreaded DAs. I've also been taking 1500 mg gabapentin/day this whole time. I'm now blessedly free of all DAs after a hellish withdrawal. This combo of 2 medications, plus the iron infusions, has now produced complete control of my RLS symptoms almost all the time.
