buprenorphine dose
I’m in the US, and just started a Suboxone Rx two weeks ago at dosage of 2/.5. I’d like to get lower dosage if I can, but I don’t see any US companies advertising the .2/.05 tablets that you have in UK. I’ve found that using 1/4 strip every other day works fine for me. I assume the long half-life

New RLS member
First and foremost, I really have to thank all on here that contribute so much time and knowledge to those of us in need. It is very much appreciated. My basic history: I remember back in college around 1998, my calves would go crazy at night like spiders crawling under my skin. It would come and

Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

Neupro Patch Weaning
I’ve read most of the forum’s input regarding Neupro Patches and relayed the information to the physician. He has decided to optimize the Gabapentin dose and discontinue the patch. A bit of history…….. the patch was started 12/19/23…10 days ago. Prior to that, ropinirole was weaning off (dose on

Escape from Augmentation
I have continued to make progress on my path to getting my dopamine receptors back to somewhere near normal. I last used a DA patch in September. I am using buprenorphine patches and pregabalin as RLS blockers to assist in the process. There is some improvement (perhaps 60%) in my sleep regime and in

Hydrocodone to Tramadol?
So the USA ran out of Hydrocodone 10/325 due to DEA putting limits on annual production. My last fill was 11-6-23. Luckily I had saved up 90 units for emergency (proof I'm not abusing) but that ran out yesterday. I asked my doc to prescribe tramadol hcl 50mg to get by until production resumes. Started

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

Birthday Cake
Silly I know... seeking reassurance. Since my NSTEMI (and stent fitting) in December I have eaten ultra healthily and have lost 1.5 stone without even trying. I take 30 minute brisk walks daily and am feeling much much better. My cholesterol has dropped from 4.3 to 1.1. Yesterday I ate two pieces

Update on me/angiogram/contrast
A while back I wrote about how I had a blockage in my legs and would have to have an angiogram/plasty with contrast. My vascular doctor and nephrologist worked together and came up with they would hydrate me 4 hours before the procedure and 2 hours after, also the vascular would only use as much contrast

Inflamed liver
Hi All, I haven't posted for a while, so I will try to explain how I feel generally. Had HA back in September & had a stent fitted. Most of the time I feel ok but every now & again I feel pretty awful, like I'm getting over Flu or a virus. My main symptons are tenderness in lower ribs & stomach ache

Longest bout of RLS 13 days of no sleep
I’m exhausted! I twitch and full body movements every night until 3AM then wake up at 6. On top of the RLS, I have now developed an upper respiratory infection. I was prescribed cough syrup with phenegran and it made me have the worst ever attack. I have called the doctor and he gave me gabapentin and

vegan burger
hi there, I had a stent put in just under a month ago and I have been eating really well. I am going out tonight for a vegan beyond burger and am freaking out that it’s not healthy enough. Do you think I’ll be alright? Is one burger alright? Many thanks Karin

Concerned I have PAD
Hello All, I used to be on this forum as Judge Dredd but I had to drop out due to some issues on another chat group unfortunately. Had long-term (20 plus years) hypertension and was diagnosed with CAD approx 5 years ago. Underwent a double CABG in Feb 2020 and then angioplasty with stent in Mar 2023

Still pain
Hello, My husband had a stent and double bypass following a heart attack 8 months ago. He's doing incredibly well with rehab and getting fit again. He's still getting pain around his pecks and tightness across his chest when exercising. This goes when he relaxes, so short-lived . I was wondering if

Therapulse - Do I really need to scale up slowly the way the maker says to?
I've had RLS for decades & currently take Horizant, methadone, and a small amount of Mirapex (I ran into trouble when I tried to drop the Mirapex completely so my specialist suggested leaving a small amount in for now). To help further lower my med doses, or to help with handling flareups without increasing

Question for those who are stented
Hello I'm sure this has been asked several times but I've had a look and cant find an answer on here. In January 2023 I was stented due to a blocked LAD artery. My other arteries were healthy and fine and the blockage was believed to be caused from a clot due to Antiphospholipid syndrome. My question

Devestated - empty looking sac at 7 week scan
Hello, I’ve had a whirlwind of a few weeks which included a totally unselected BFP following our last round of ovulation induction before moving to IVF in the new year. Of course I was anxious but really thought this could be my lucky break and naturally got carried away imagining future baby. Today
