Is it time to swap from Gabapentin to Pregabalin?
I’m up to 1800mg (6pm/8pm/10pm) of gabapentin now with one 30mg dihydrocodeine. Waking 3 times a night and now sometimes needing a second dihydrocodeine as the legs are bad. Wondering what are my best next steps. Im thinking Pregabalin. I know you get the equivalent dose but would you ask for the same

Methadone or Buprenorphine?
I have been on morphine successfully some years for severe RLS. However I'm beginning to think I need a change of meds. Opioid induced insomnia has gradually worsened so that I'm surviving on about 2 hours sleep now. I'm thinking of asking for either methadone or buprenorphine .I 've been thinking

I finally got my sublingual buprenorhine!
Hi everybody! Thanks to this forum I finally got a neurologist who was willing to prescribe me 0.2mg sublingual buprenorphine tablets. I've been on 100 tramadol for two weeks and was wondering which would be the wiser way of switching from one to the other and finding the right dose. I'm a bit worried

Post Op abdominal pain
I am only 3 months post oesophagectomy and so appreciate it is still very early days into recovery. However, each morning between 0300 and 0600hr, I wake up with a nagging pain in the lower abdomen just below and to the left of the stomach incision. The pain eases when I get out of bed and move about

Edit: Added the elevation profile from said marathon. Its making my knee twinge just looking at it.
Back in the olden days (2022), I ran the [i]Giant's Head Marathon[/i], and my knee hasn't spoken to me since. It was a brutal course with around 1000m elevation gain that took you across an array

Drug rash from Gabapentin/Dihydrocodeine? Anyone else?
In the past month I’ve noticed a drug rash from Gabapentin and/or Dihydrocodeine. It’s on my face and neck and chest. It’s not itchy but is hot and comes on after my last dose at bedtime. It’s not anaphylaxis (I’m a retired Paramedic) but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this? Thank you

PLMD and RLS Update
25 + years ago, I began experiencing symptoms with leg jerkiness during sleep, causing me to rise and stretch and sit up until the movement stopped.

Well it’s 3:30 am here in Georgia USA and have been awake since about 2:30 but I went to sleep around 9:00 so that’s good for me. The ropinorole is still working thank God. Just wanted to update how things are going. I go Wednesday to see dr. Cooper but honestly I’m not very hopeful. I feel like he will
