RLS strange diagnosis

why is it called RLS it seems to be so much more than this!!! I’ve seen some posts that they take tramadol, it’s an awful drug that just makes you spaced out, you can’t live like that surely. I’m still not sure what my mum has been prescribed, but she can’t even get it yet as the pharmacy can’t get it for her.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Tramadol doesn't make everyone spaced out. And for many it controls their RLS.

Why don't you ask her what she has been prescribed?

Hi there, believe me when you have rls 7 days a week and nothing is working, spaced out with tramadol is a welcome intervention. I wouldn't use it if I had a choice!

I've used low dose tramadol for rls for 20+ years. It can be very effective for a good long time for some sufferers. I have zero spacey side effects after taking so long.

Not what you're looking for?
