I have successfully blocked my long standing RLS by use of buprenorphine at the cost of quite severe nausea and whilst I have had good sound advice from Joolsg, 707twitcher, Lotte M and others on this matter I am interested to know of other peoples experiences on this problem

My main problems are Nausea tiredness

Thanks & kind regards

I take only a small dose of Buprenorphine ( 0,2 mg) which effectively helps on most days. Side effects are also constipation (dealt with Magrocole),. tiredness during the afternoon and early evening (frustrating, but better than RLS) and also loss of appetite.

While answering this post, perhaps some members could tell me if loss of appetite is also a problem for them.
