don't read, won't change anything,

to start with all rls sufferers did you know our meds are prescribed off label? Go to your gp ask something for off label use something innocent, you get what? nope, not according to the collage guidance sorry can not do it. But our gaba, dopa drugs, or bunch of others including antidepressants just to mention another one are not for rls specificly designed but other illnesses. Coz of the main stream approach to us we are special and can get off label drugs actually a bunch of them and it is ok, no? Why is that? Anyway, sad that is, we have nothing legit except opioids and sleeping pills, correct me if I'm wrong. Start with gaba, hey start taking 300mg, a couple of weeks latter we are in grams not mg's. funny. I remember myself so excited to get on gaba, first night was blessing, letter on that turned to hell, reached 1200mg and my doc said no to go more, stopped working at 1.2g maybe in 1 month not to mention the side effect such as short memory wholes. Short memory wholes? Example, do complicated breakfast, eggs, beckon, fruits, coffee etc for years and years and suddenly your breakfast got no coffee ( erased from the sequence) or beckon is missing, hahahh, Short memory wholes affected my life so severally had to give it up and max allowed dose 1.2 g was not enough anyway. Any funny stories you can share to keep us entertained in this dark corner where we are?
