BP meds interference?
I'm taking Losartan Potasium, Lerconidipine and Atenolol for very high blood pressure, and cannot have the surgery I need until it's normal. I've been taking Dihydrocodeine for severe, full body RLS for nearly 20 years, but recently, the bed-time dose I take around 12.30am is only lasting for about two

Does L-Tyrosine also cause augmentation
I have recently come off an OTC L-Dopa supplement because it was causing augmentation. I'm trying to get my dopamine levels to restore naturally and am wondering whether I should take L-Tyrosine (which is the amino acid building block for L-Dopa, found in eggs, cheese, meat, etc). I would be doing so

Opiate use and sleep.
This is a link to a study/ warning of the dangers of opiate use. Related to sleep quality and breathing problems. It is not a major problem for the low doses used for refractory rls. It is really interesting that it recognises the use of opiates for rls and the distinction between that and the much higher

More help please
I have posted here several times and have had wonderful help. Now I need more please. I have been trying to get back to more sleep , having gone through hell getting off the dopamine agonists. It is over 3 months since I began withdrawal, which took 6 weeks to be totally clear. Currently I am on Gabapentin

Measles
Has anyone else had the measles? When I was about 8 I had the measles as I wasn't vaccinated. A Doctor had diagnosed me with the measles when I was a baby so my notes said I didn't need to be vaccinated. Strangely, my Gran said it wasn't the measles, but the Doctors still refused to vaccinate me and

How measles causes the body to ‘forget’ past infections by other microbes.
One of the most contagious human pathogens, the measles virus is dangerous enough by itself, with sometimes-fatal complications including pneumonia and brain inflammation. Two detailed studies of blood from unvaccinated Dutch children who contracted measles now reveal how such infections can also compromise

Methadone
Hi Everyone. Has anyone living in the U.K. with severe restless legs been prescribed methadone.? If so what are the results.? I ask because I've been on Tramadol for about 2 years (4x 20mg at night ) and they seem to be losing their efficacy now. Any other advice gratefully received.

Magnesium deficiency, PPIs & RLS - shock revelation!
I only found out today, quite by accident, that PPI's can, and do, cause magnesium deficiency. Magnesium deficiency, in turn, can then cause cramps, muscle twitches and RLS. Holy hell! I've been taking PPIs for years - literally years - and despite mentioning that I have RLS to several doctors, not ONE

Big thank you
I can't remember who to thank (Madlegs, maybe?) I've taken gabapentin for close to 30 years for unrelated nerve pain. About 5 years ago I was hospitalized and in the course of things, told that I had a magnesium deficiency and to supplement. So I have been taking magnesium. No one ever even mentioned

How long do L-dopa withdrawal symptoms last?
I took an over the counter L-dopa supplement (Macuna puriens) for a few months for my restless legs and then experienced augmentation and rebound. I stopped cold turkey a week ago and am experiencing withdrawal effects in the form of nervous system pain. Wondering how long it takes for the withdrawal
