Restless legs syndrome

[AzraCG]

Hi. Wondering if anyone knows if the following pain meds would trigger my rls.In south africa it's called synaleve: meprobamate and codeine

Xefo: lornoxicam

I'm not sure what UK brands are but these are the ingredients

Many thanks

Meprobamate was taken off the market here in 2016 because of the high risk of dependency. Apparently it's similar to benzodiazepenes. Benzos do not worsen RLS.Codeine is prescribed for RLS and doesn't worsen it.

Lornoxicam is a non steroidal anti inflammatory, so should be fine.

Are they the meds you take for RLS?

If you list all meds you're currently taking for RLS, we can guide you to the research papers for best treatment.

Thank you . I've had surgery and these were prescribed for my pain but I was afraid it may trigger an rls flare.

I was on pramipexole and melatonin for rls but I am now weaned off it.
