RLS update

Since I have been doing a lot of complaining, I thought it was time for an update. I started 10 mg methodone about a week ago. It has helped. I don't have the horrible rls at night like before. I am not up walking all night. From time to time I get the rls, but not the kind where I am walking all night. It is mild. I am thankful for that. The only thing is that I cannot sleep through the night. I can deal with that as long as I don't have rls all night. My dr. said we will work on that next. Thank you all for your help and your knowledge. I am truly greatful.

I would suggest lunesta for insomnia. I take it.

Safe OTC options for insomnia include: valerian, chamomile, hops, L-tryptophan, glycine, and GABA
