Physically cutting buprenorphine pills
After going through augmentation with pramipexole and no luck with gabapentin or lyrica, I was prescribed buprenorphine about 5 weeks ago and it has been a miracle. No RLS at all. I have found that a dose of .25 mg about 45 minutes before bed works perfectly. The problem I have is that the smallest

Sore dry eyes
Good morning folks. I’ve been switched from Latanoprost to Monopost drops for both eyes. Bilateral NTG. I was getting a lot of headaches, eye pain and swelling around my right eye and a duty A&E ophthalmologist suggested I could be reacting to the preservatives in the Latanoprost drops. I’ve been on

Extremely high eye pressure while sleeping.
Hi, I have been diagnosed with glaucoma for about 12 years now and I also have uveitis since I was 2 years old. The last 4/5 years the main focus has been managing glaucoma as my uveitis is in remission. Recently I managed to get self monitoring eye pressure machine from Icare so I can keep track of

Dr Glen Z brooks NYC
I met with Glen a couple of weeks ago , he is now 76 and no longer taking in new RLS patients It has become increasingly difficult for him to prescribe Buprenorphine the biggest problem is he cannot find doctors who will continue to prescribe for Buprenorphine when he is no longer working. Glen said

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Which treatment after dopamine agonist withdrawal?
I'm currently fighting to withdraw from dopamine agonist (DA) after a severe augmentation. I was prescribed some other drugs to help me go through this process (tramadol, pregabaline, clonazepan, wellbrutin). My plan is to get back to my pre-DA RLS baseline level, and to treat them with pregabaline only

For those taking methadone, do you think it affects your sleep quality?
Having gotten rid of almost all (but not quite!) Mirapex nearly 2 years ago, my current meds are 0.125 mg Mirapx, 600 mg Horizant, and 10 mg methadone. Eventually I hope to taper the Mirapex to zero. I have a vulnerability to obstructive sleep apnea and once my specialist had transitioned me to increasing

Fantastic Improvement!
Wow! What a fantastic improvement there is so far and wanted to share in case it helps anyone else. Also thanks to the members in here who gave me advice. I’ve increased my gabapentin to 1500mg (600mg at 6pm/600mg at 8pm/300mg at10pm) and one 30 mg dihydrocodeine with the 10pm dose. Now getting to sleep

Pegasys side effects
I was switched from 500 Hydroxyurea/day to 90mg Pegasys every two weeks. The pain in hips and thighs is substantial - headache also, but not as bothersome as the muscle pain. Has anyone else experience this on Pegasys. Also, has anyone tried CoQ10 for muscle pain and has it work? Thanks
