update from Ruffabug (End of life plan)
A big thank you to those who kindly replied to my post of a couple weeks ago entitled HELP PLEASE TO REDUCE DOSE OF NEUPRO .To remind you I have terminal cancer with roughly six to nine months life expectancy. After reading your replies I decided not to try to reduce the Dopamine Agonist Receptor drugs

Advice sought on switching from Tramadol to THC/CBD
I'm on 50 - 100mg of tramadol a day and slowly getting augmentation. Started with 50mg and now I alternate nights at 100mg. I'm reluctant to go to 100mg everyday yet but most nights 50mg doesn't work great. My Dr has suggested I try a THC 10mg/CBD 10mg medication and stopping Tramadol, so I will give

A Natural Approach to Calming Restless Legs
I want to share my personal experience in the hope that it might benefit someone else. I was prescribed Ropinirole 2mg slow-release and Pramipexole 0.18mg for restless leg syndrome, but they were not very effective. I had rough nights, and at least once or twice a week, I had to take Tramadol 50mg

Changing Medication
Hi I’m just looking for some advice on Targinact and just Oxycodone please. My neurologist wrote to my GP requesting that I be prescribed Targinact 10mg at night and 5mg mornings increasing if necessary by 5mg increments to maximum of 20mg twice a day, also changing the Venlafaxine I take to either

Help - kindling?
As described in my other posts, my dopamine agonist withdrawal is awful. I suffer from DAWS, and I've done several stays in an hospital neurology service, and they are doing their best to help me, but something is awfully wrong. I got out of the hospital the day after yesterday. Yesterday, I had a

I am posting this in the hope that it helps in forming your own response and if you agree with some of them, including them in your own response might help them pay more attention to them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lexapro and RLS
Has anyone with RLS started taking Lexapro for anxiety? If yes, did it have any affects on your RLS? My RLS is pretty well controlled at this time with minimal drugs (100 mg Gabapentin) after finally getting off Pramipexole. I also use Melatonin, Valarian Root, and CBN. But most helpful, I think,

Dipyridamole working great
I started taking gabapentin 900mg at bedtime 15 yrs ago, recently switched to 600mg at 9pm and midnight. Not much benefit. Probably developed a tolerance over the years. Started tramadol 50-100mg at bedtime a month ago, some relief but was concerned about addiction with long term use. Showed the dipyridamole

Any last advice before I embark on the battle to try Buprenorphine? Should I increase my pregabalin dose?
I'd be really grateful for any thoughts on remaining treatment options before I start waging war with my GP practice to try Buprenorphine. I took my last ropinirole tablet in May 2023 (after augmentation after 11 years), and have since been taking 300mg pregabalin (150mg at 8pm, 150mg at 10.30pm), together

Getting No Help and feeling desperate
I have severe restless legs and am going around in circles with my doctor and neurologist. Being waiting months for a CPAP machine but now my doctor wants me to do another sleep study. I have been using kratom for years but now it's not really working for me and am close to packing it all in. I live

Sleep apnea and PMR
Over the last year my sleep has been poor, and finally I had an overnight sleep study, which revealed severe apnea. I'm pretty sure this is new to me and I did some reading. Apparently there is a nasty connection between apnea and PMR (and RA). One source: "The co-existence of sleep apnoea in rheumatic

Suboxone works!
As I stated in my first post, in May, 2023, I have had severe RLS for many years. I suffered augmentation after taking 4 mg Mirapex daily. In September, 2023, my sleep study doctor, at The University of Michigan, prescribed Suboxone. Also known as Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2 mg/0.5 mg. It is a sublingual

Hello, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that I haven’t had RLS for months. The bad news is since taking Suboxone I’ve developed the most insane muscle pain I can barely function. To get out of bed I barely have the strength to roll my body, and even lifting my leg up, causes an immense

I've had RLS since childhood, progressively worse through my life, worse with pregnancies, then much worse in my 50s. In desperation I searched the

Free of Dopamine Agonist But ...
Today, with the help of Buprenorphine, I am about 6 weeks free of Neupro. It is no exaggeration to say that I have not slept consistently this well for 30 years. It is absolutely a miracle. I could not be more thankful for the help I have received here that has gotten me to this place. However, there
