2 weeks off

[Njbva]

Two weeks off requip.... gone on for a sleep study, no results yet. Contacted Dr. Andrew Berkowski. He can't see me until next week. Will cost close to 1000 $ but worth it if I get help. My symptoms have gotten worse. Legs start within 10 minutes of laying down. Mostly my left leg. Gone from just jerking to painful also. Stopping my Low dose Naltrexone in order to take opioids (suggested by Dr andrew) very sad and dark here. Tried ice pack, heat, massage, wrapping my legs. Does this ever end? Have an appointment with b a local nureolgist but probably will not keep as he will have old ideas?

Since you are going to see Dr. Berkowski you don't need to see a local neurologist. The opioid should help. Hang in there.

That is what I was thinking. Local neurologist would probably be useless

Does propranolol make RL worse?

[SueJohnson in reply to Njbva]

No - it is safe.

Dr Berkowski is brilliant. He will definitely prescribe an opioid like Buprenorphine.Your RLS will settle. The first 2 weeks after stopping requip (Ropinirole) are the worst. But every day will get a little better.

Hang on until next week. Dr Berkowski will help you.
