Augmentation & Tramadol? What next
Not sure what to do now. I came off 0.5mg Ropinirole about 4 years ago and found 100mg of Tramadol was sufficient to give me on most nights 8 hours sleep. But I seem now to be developing augmentation. I am writing this after 3 hours sleep! I have stretched my legs but still suffering. I am now wondering

Ropinirole - despair!
Following a diagnosis last year I've been on Ropinirole ever since. Unfortunately, my GP is one who thinks this is the best drug for RLS. I'm on the lowest dose, 0.5mg and the practice pharmacist says we should try to keep it as low as that if possible. However, it's not even touching the sides anymore

Any answers?
Has anyone had any recent answers about this? Been suffering for 8 months and maybe this sounds silly and dramatic but the stress of not knowing has made me retreat into quite a deep depression. I don’t know what to ask my doctor to do or which tests to request! My MRI head was normal and EEG slightly

Bewildered
Hello to all, I’m new to this. I have a question for anyone who may have similar things going on as I’m bewildered about my diagnosis. I was diagnosed with cerebella ataxia in December 2021. I spent quite a few weeks in hospital having scans and eeg etc. loads of tests and neurologist then I was told

Any gambling problems with Ropinirole
This is my first time posting and I'm curious to find out how many people have been effected by gambling problems associated with Ropinirole ( and other dopamine agonists ). My story: I've been on Ropinirole for approximately 18 years. Started on a low dose but eventually ended up on 12 mg extended release

Oxycodone and Laxative
I have just started on Oxycodone to replace Oramorph... 5 mg fast relief . Suffering from Bladder Camcer. Problem is that I then need a laxative because both of the above make me constipated. Oxycodone appears not to react well with Dulcosoft laxative. Anyone any suggestions ?

RLS Medication Recommendations
Greetings all. I I've been reading quite a bit about Ropinirole and why it's bad. I was first prescribed it in August 2021 for RLS. I have 2 spinal cord injuries resulting in neuropathy in both feet and my right leg. My leg jerks uncontrollably throughout the day and night resulting in a terrible quality

CBD and RLS
Like so many of us, I am ALSO weaning off of pramipexole. I have been taking a "low" 0.375 or 1.5 of the 0.25 mg tablet (with 600 mg Gabapentin) at 1030 pm (prior to a 12 am bedtime) for the dreaded RLS onset at 130-2 am, which would then last for 1 to 3 hours. It was working but I was feeling the

RLS and Marijuana
Does anyone know of a good practitioner in Toronto who is very knowledgeable about treating RLS with CBD and/or marijuana? I was told that typically suggested doses of CBD are far too low to be very effective. What about marijuana capsules or vaporizers? As time goes on I am less and less confident

Friend just came off sedation drugs after having Covid pneumonia.
They’re doing EEG tomorrow to see if his brain will tell his lungs to breathe? So far everything else has been okay. Just concerning about his EGG

the culprit is in the cbd I am taking
HI, thanks to all of you who have responded to my last post. After days of wondering as what is the reason the oxycodone I have taking for years lost effectiveness all of a sudden. It is not the pregabalin but the high-dose CBD I have been taking in the past half month reduces the effectiveness of

Has anyone tapered off/withdrawn from Methadone...after using it to get off the DA drugs?
I seriously need help-each time I find a doctor to prescribe Methadone, they give it to me for a short time and then state they can no longer do so. I cannot live with this monthly terror...the current doc said I have one month to find someone else, as his clinic is being monitored. Today I had a new

Shingles
Hi everyone, I had terrible pain in my left hip and down the thigh to just above knee last week and was worried in case it was to do with my hip replacement. However on Sunday I noticed a crop of lumpy red spots on my hip which were itchy. Called the surgery Monday morning and got a call back from GP

Cramps, unable to move and falls
Hello, I wondered if anyone experiences this? My husband is now getting painful cramps in his neck, they can travel down his spine. His head gradually sinks forward and is too painful to raise up. He looks "vacant", is unable to talk and looses all balance. If he is standing he will fall but it also

Brain Fog, Dizziness, Ear Fullness, Tremors, Pins & Needles. Started 12 months ago. Made progress, not there yet though
Hey Guys, This all started 12 months ago, a bout of dizziness hit me out of the blue, it was a stressful time, also recently had mono and Covid (antibody test confirmation). I think this is when the health anxiety kicked in and the situation snowballed. That was when all the symptoms mentioned above
