Experiences with

Hydrocodone / Guaifenesin

My GP finally gave me klonopin but was very reluctant, and scared me with dementia saying the longer you are on it the more your chances are of getting dementia. The klonopin worked for me for 8 years (age 53-60 with no issues) then the opioid crisis hit and my GP would no longer prescribe it. I have

Now experiencing pain in arms every evening about the same time as starting to take evening meds. Is this a painful variant of RLS or a side effect of gabapentin or withdrawal symptoms from the regular release hydrocodone? Planning to ask MD to try Buprenorphine/ naloxone on my next visit. Hydrocodone

Hi all..... So, I've been following the forum for years. I rarely post because I haven't had much to contribute. First off, let me express my most sincere thanks to all of the regular contributors that this forum has been blessed with. I could list them but you know who they are. I must mention

I need some advice. To make a long story short, a friend went through augmentation on dopamine agonists, tapered off and Gabapentin was prescribed 600mg at 4 hrs and 2 hours before bedtime (total dose 1200mg). Additionally, hydrocodone was prescribed to relieve severe RLS and PLMD. Hydrocodone 10 mg

I had been taking 3 tabs of .125 mg of pramiprexole for a couple of years, but I have been on dopamine agonists for about a decade (ropinerole to pramiprexole). I also take hydrocodone 10 mgs 2-3x day for both back & leg pain. Finally, I take 300-600 mg of gabapentin as needed. About reducing the

so I took my first dose of Buprenorphine last night. I started with 1 mg,that wasn't enough so I took the other half ( I have the 2 mgs) This stuff is amazing! Not a single jiggle of the legs! I'm going to drop to 1 mg tonight again and see.how that goes. I had to take half.a clonazepam for the,sleep

Well I went to my GPS today (Florida) told him the hydrocodone was not doing anything anymore. I suggested Gabapentin 1st, he looked back and I had alot of problems getting off that as it stopped working. Mentioned Buprenorphine explained how alot of you in here have had great success with it and he

so tomorrow I see my gp. At first I was considering gabapentin but I see alot of you have good results with Buprenorphine, since it has a long life and I could just go off my hydrocodone which has absolutely stopped working after 14 years. I've been having to take more than one 10/325mg and I'm just

Seeing my GP Monday. I told my friend that !method one and gabby were recommened. He told me absolutely not as it has heroin in it and I would be stuck on it forever. I'm on hydrocodone . Three of them now thru out the night at 10/325mg. I definitely do not want to take this since it makes me feel like

I will be seeing my GP this month,hydrocodone has stopped working after 14 years. I'm debating on gabapentin or methadone? I was on gabba years ago,it ruined my gallbladder and had to get it removed. How have any of you using either of these meds helped with your rls? I don't know which one would be

Hi warriors - my husband and 3.5 months post taxotere chemo. Now on lupron and Nubeqa. He is having pretty severe pain in his hands and feet. We have discussed this with oncologist and he wants us to work with GP until we can see other specialists (rheumatologist and Neurologist). We went down the rabbit

I am currently tapering from 30mg to 25mg prednisolone for GCA. (been taking pred since February). I have had a productive cough and what I believe is a chest infection for 2 weeks. It is definitely better this week than last week and the guaifenesin I have taken has helped. I do not feel unwell

Over the past two years of consistent PreGabalin (75mg caps 4/d concentrated in the evening 6P-9P) I have gained a considerable amount

the Vimpat stopped working to completely resolve my RLS. Recent MRIs showed multiple Tarlov cysts on my spine, which is possibly causing the left leg pain and movement. It is positional and separate from the RLS in both legs in my arms and body. I see a new neurosurgeon next week. I’ve had multiple

Thanks to everyone who sent me well wishes and information about what was happening to me. My regular doctor came back to work and I saw her today and she prescribed Gabapentin and Hydrocodone 10 mg. Put me on a stronger iron supplement and will do infusion if that doesn't help. So I will wean off

Follow up from my previous post & many thanks to the helpful advice from members here. I scheduled a teleconference with Dr Albert Chang at UCLA in November, scheduling is 3 months out so treatments were Feb.3 and 6. Normally a week apart but since I flew in they did 3days apart. We stayed at the Luskin

My old pain doctor recently retired and I have seen a new one. Unfortunately, she won't continue my low dose hydrocodone/acetaminophen. She wanted to put me on Nalrexone which is for treatment of opioid addiction. It is also found to treat other things including fibromyalgia. What the doc failed to mention

Like many MS patients, I take a lot of meds. A lot. But I feel like I need all of them, particularly baclofen and hydrocodone since I have some painful spasticity in my pelvic floor and the right side of my neck and shoulder. Lately, my legs have started to feel tight, too. I have a baclofen pump,

Hello Everyone This is my 8th year having pmr. I have used the slow method many times and have used 2 different meds. to help me. Methotrexate and plaquenil. and have not been able,(until now) to decrease my pred. amount. Last June I was given 25mg pred. because I had major surgery and it was felt

I finally went through the Scoliosis Surgery that I had scheduled and canceled a couple of times. I had been on Buprenorphine for over a year and was RLS free. The minute I woke up from my surgery, that ugly monster showed up again. This time I could not even move, much less walk. It started very
