my husband is on Temgesic 0.2mg and needs to go on to Donepezil or Memantine for memory loss. Will either of these meds aggravate RLS?

Hi I haven't contributed to the forum recently as my husband is well controlled on Temgesic and a low Oxalate diet. However, he now needs to take either Donepezil or Memantine, I am just worried that they can aggravate the RLS.

FYI Temgestic might be the cause of memory issues. It is one of the many side effects. Sorry to say that all the RLS medications have side effects most affecting the memory. Doctors will just keep giving medications for the side effects you get never fixing the original problem. Beware of more medications and do your own research on all the side effects.
