Hi Sue Johnson,

I have an update I'd like to share with you for your consideration. Upon taking Ferrous sulphate I seem to suffer with Nausea quiet badly and have gone back onto Ferrous fumarate which is more tolerable .I have been diagnosed with my auto immune system attacking my connective tissue causing raynauds disease and other joint and stomach issues of which the following medicine have been perscribed and to take the following: Metoclopramide 10mg 0ne three times per day, Hydroxychloroquine 200mg one twice a dayand Lasartan Potassium 12.5mg one per day for 4 weeks and then 25mg there after also one a day.

My question is having took these yesterday my RLS seem untreatable as three Ropinarole 2mg and 2 100mg Gapapentin did not work. So it could just have been a coincidence or would it be likely that it has caused further worsening  of Rls?

Kindest regards

Kered

Metoclopramide is a dopamine antagonist which can make RLS worse. The other two should be fine

Yes the anti sickness med Metoclopramide sent my daughtes RLS crazy ,you could ask for Zofran instead which is safe for RLS .Hydroxychlotoquine she didn't have any problems with .x
