Use of LDN with Rls

[dana786]

Recently put on Lyrica. Not fully helping legs. Was then started on LDN. Can LDN aggravate symptoms initially.

Are you off the DA?

How much lyrica are you on?

If you stopped lyrica without weaning off that can make RLS worse. LDN won't.

You will want to titrate up on the lyrica until you find your maintenance dose. Mayo Clinic recommends dosing lyrica 75-450mg. You will want to give lyrica your full attention. It has a high probability of success.- pramipexol, ropinerol, neupro, antihistimines and antidepressants will all aggravate RLS. You need to be free of these before the lyrica will work.

- has your blood ferritin been tested? Needs to be greater than 100ug/liter.

Hi, can't comment on lyrica but have a years of ldn experience. Ldn does work but it is not a pill like thing. How much ldn are you taking? and side effects?

[amrob123]

Not in my experience but anything is possible with regard to how a drug affects an individual. Are you on LDN for RLS?It's a good idea to introduce one thing at a time and to get the dose right / give it time to work before introducing another medication.
