pregabolin - phew!

[Flora-Rose]

On August 11th I began taking 25mg of pregabolin an hour or so before bedtime, increasing by 25mg every few days. I weaned myself off sinemet during the first few weeks. I have gradually felt less RLS and am now on 275mg. There is still room for improvement, but I am sleeping better than I have done for many years and consequently am happier and almost optimistic about the future. I wanted to take buprenorphine, but now not in any rush. Thanks to Sue and Jools for their advice.

That's fantastic news. Well done for getting off Sinemet. It's not easy and it's great that pregabalin is covering the RLS.

That's great - so pleased for you!

I've had a similar journey. I'm on 300 mg of pregabalin at night. It doesn't completely help, so I supplement it with Kratom powder as needed. I usually end up getting up once a night to take some Kratom (which I take during the day as well), and to walk around then sit with my toes bent at an angle. There's a silver lining to getting up: the arthritis in my back is much, much worse in the morning if I don't sit up for a while at night.
