Day 14 without Ropinirole, does it ever get better?
Hi all, Thought I'd leave a bit of an update here for others to see who are going through this. Day 1: The first night and the following day were not as bad as I expected, the RLS was maybe 5 out of 10, plenty enough to stop me from sleeping but it didn't spread to my arms and chest like it had been

Weight gain on methadone?
I finally found a doctor in Sarasota who prescribes methadone. The plan is to stop Tramadol and switch to methadone. Will I gain weight - does it slow metabolism? I've been reading that some people have problems and I tend to gain weight easily. Anyone have experience? Thanks for your comments.

History of Epileptic Seizure
I am 60 years old male from India. I had my first onset of seizure in my youth days ( 35 years ago). Though it was not clear from EEG but I was put on Dilantin 200 mg. It was controlled for 3 years and then started again from 1990. Eptoin was started in place of Dilantin for 250mg. But the episodes

Help from those taking Methadone
I need a shoulder replacement and is scheduled soon. I have been taking methadone to control my RLS. When I told my surgeon that I was taking methadone, he told me that he could not manage my pain. He said that anything that he gave me wouldn’t control my pain. He suggested to ask my neurologist or go

HRT and RLS
Hello everyone, Just wanted some advice please. I have been able to reduce my dosage of Ropinirole to 1.5mg with the unexpected help of HRT. I would like to reduce further and although I need to up the HRT dose, which may help. I am considering trying Magnesium. Any advice would as always be gratefully

RSL and clonazepam
For me the ONLY thing that has worked is Clonazepam 2mg at night. Sometimes I have to take a second one during the night if the RLS is back. This has worked for me for years but I certainly worry about the addictive nature of benzodiazepines. But I’m not giving it up. I’m 73 now and I will take it for

Antidepressant recommendations
Well, my anxiety and depression just keep getting worse. Nearly unbearable now.What types of antidepressants have any of you had experience/success with during the transition off of the DAs? I have not been able to conclusively blame my symptoms on either the lack of dopamine or the soboxone. For those

Ashwaganda?
I just saw someone posting on another site that Ashwaganda has really helped their RLS. Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? I currently take Tramadol but only when desperate as I don't really want to be dependent on any drug if I can avoid it. However I have had to appreciate that I am taking

Sertraline
I think I know what everyone is going to say but does anyone have anything positive to say about sertraline and restless legs? If anybody followed my previous post I have stage 4 breast cancer and need a mild antidepressant to help me cope. Having chatted with my GP we both feel I would benefit more

Sore mouth and toothpaste
There have been a couple of posts about sore mouth in the last month or so, so I would like to offer this: I've had so-called Burning Mouth Syndrome for some years, which has fluctuated, particularly with pred. The dentist says it nearly always turns out to be an allergy, but I couldn't track it down

Sore Throat
I have a sore throat right at the base of my throat where my thyroid is. It’s particularly sore in the night. Could it be my thyroid or just a random sore throat? My tonsils and throat area are slightly red, but nothing major. My current dose is T4 100mcg and T3 18.75. What can I do about it? Painkillers

pregabelin side effects
I explained to my dr that sertraline had caused my restless leg to return. Previously it was under control with iron. She put me on a low dose of pregabelin, 25mg to take at night and continue with sertraline in the morning. The first night was ok…ish. I did sleep much better. but the second night
