Knee surgery
Hey guys! I am facing total knee replacement surgery (robotics) next month. I will be in the hospital overnight one night. I remember seeing a list in this forum of things to remember to look out for; i.e., nausea medicine the anesthesiologist might use, what I need to tell the doctor or nurses at

RLS/BUPRENORPHINE/ BREATHING
I’m curious if anyone else has had sleep/breathing issues with buprenorphine. I use a sleep tracker and it started alerting me to a very serious sleep apnea problem which I have never had prior to buprenorphine. I have struggled with bup anyway. It helps the RLS for sure and it is the only thing that

I know it's 3 years later but I wanted to write this in case someone needed to see. This thread helped me so much when my dad was in the ICU on a ventilator. When they took my dad off of sedation he didn't wake up right away. He is a peritoneal dialysis patient and drugs leave his system much slower.

Doctor about turn!!
having got down to 1 1/2 pramipexole, i was back to my old insomnia… waking constantly, legs going mad. So time to see Gp. My regular doc had refused to give me gabapentin due to addiction issues. So talked to a different GP. I explained i was no longer sleeping well and she offered me sleeping tablets

Switching from Methadone to buprenorphine
I’ve been taking Methadone for a little over 2 years after I augmented on Tramadol. I absolutely love how well the Methadone works. I rarely have symptoms and when I do get them a quick hot bath and I’m good again. The part I don’t like is the 20 pounds I’ve gained. It makes me feel hungry all the

Far from being a cause of distress as was the case with the untold misery of a month ago walking the house at night feeling that familiar dread that comes with severe sleep deprivation and feeling like you’re teetering on the edge of an abyss, I now feel a certain sense of euphoria knowing that I will

How to wean off of ropinirole and find a good doctor.
My husband is on 8 mg of ropinirole ER a day (4 in morning and 4 in evening. He has been taking it for over 15 years and whenever he would start getting augmentation, he would just increase the dose. That always worked but it’s way too much. We just moved to Florida and cannot find a good doctor for

Gabapentin
I am currently taking 5 300mg Gabapentin a day. I'm also taking 0.5 mg of pramipexole 5 times a day and hydrocodone 3 times a day which helps. Gabapentin alone didn't help me but I hope it does you.

Any substitute for Bupropion?
Hi All. I was on Citalopram for depression, but that made my RLS worse. So Professor Walker at Queens Square suggested Bupropion as a substitute. I have just found out from my Pharmacy that Bupropion is no longer manufactured (so they say). I e-mailed Professor Walker yesterday for another substitute

Still no diagnosis Following Syncope!
Hi, just over a year ago I collapsed whilst driving. Miraculously my wife brought the car to a halt and we are still here to tell the tale. Since then, I have had every test you could imagine and a loop recorder fitted last March which has picked up about four episodes of AT and VT, mostly when I am

Seeking advice for changing from Temgesic to Gabapentin for treating my refractory RLS.
I have moved to a new area and need to change Doctor. I had a double appt last week and the new Doctor refused to prescribe Temgesic. I have been taking tbis medication successfully for 2 years now. I am having my medical records sent through to the new medical practice. I thought I should look into

Restless leg cure
Well I hope it is for some of you. I've been down all the various medication routes and magnesium cream and jels and nothing still the same getting worse by the week. Until someone suggested what worked for them and it's worked for me, I'll also add I've suffered with constipation for decades and nothing

How long shall I trial codeine before giving up on it?
Hi all RLers, I started codeine beginning of April. First 8mg slowly to 30mg, which made me sick but I got 6hrs without RL and slept. Down to 16mg, back to 30mg without side effects this time. The trouble is I only get 1 good night on the increased dose before the RL is back as usual. I am hoping
